Tobe Hooper's Funhouse: Worthy of your time...

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Excellent Atmosphere Wonderful Genuine Funhouse Sets Very disturbing and frightening monster.

The Funhouse

Author's Rating: Rating: 3/5 stars

Pros: Good effects, some of the acting and direction.

Cons: Bad dialogue, no internal logic.

Bottom Line:

Pay To Enter, Pray To Leave: 1981's The Funhouse

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Cool setting, what you'd expect in a typical slasher film

Cons: Bad acting, pointless brother subplot, terrible pace, no gore, boring villain

Bottom Line:
The Funhouse is a sorely lacking slasher film that's been forgotten in the annals of the genre--and for good reason: it's not very good. Read More at Epinions.com

This merry-go-round just broke down.

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Some semblances of dark humor and a convincingly seedy carnival setting.

Cons:

A slow, mechanical and flat-out derivative waste of a novel concept.

Bottom Line:
Tobe Hooper's THE FUNHOUSE fails to become a rollercoaster ride and breaks down way too late into slasher tedium to make for solid horror viewing. Read More at Epinions.com

Is Funhouse fun? Not really.

Author's Rating: Rating: 2/5 stars

Pros: Nice concept, effective setting, well done final half hour.

Cons: The first 2/3 of the film, Hooper's trademark uncertainty, ends shortly after it gets interesting.

Bottom Line:
While the locale is a nice change of scenery, The Funhouse doesn't have a whole lot going for it. Read More at Epinions.com
