Andrew McCarthy Wouldn't Like These Mannequins.......2007-07-06

A fun, quirky little flick from the 70s. Kind of a minor classic amongst horror buffs, and one of Stephen King's favorite horror films as well. It comes from a pre-Full Moon Charles Band, who seems to have done his best work when he wasn't involved with Full Moon. The simple plot has a group of kids stranded at Chuck Connors' roadside museum where they are terrorized and killed by Connors and his murderous mannequins. The films kinda feels like Charles Band's answer to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The movie was actually directed by David Schmoeller who directed the first Puppet Master movie. What really makes this movie work is the performance by Connors. We don't usually see him in these kinds of roles(Mr. Rifleman!), and he really pulls off the psycho role in spades. Chuck's always been big, ugly and menacing, and this film totally takes advantage of that. Bravo, Chuck! A young Tanya Roberts is also along for the ride, but if you're looking to see her in the buff, I'd suggest sticking to The Beastmaster. Tourist Trap is cheap, silly and more humorous than scary, but you gotta admit there are genuine moments of claustrophobic creepiness. Just the overall strangeness of it is a tad unsettling too. If you're a horror fan, it's a must see.

Ole Chuck Connors was out of character in this one. It ended on a weird note. I think they need to tell what happened after the girl got away, and what did she do with her friends?

Tourist Trap.......2007-02-13

A forgotten 80's gem. I remember watching this movie as a little girl and it scared me so bad that I had nightmares for a week. I had just purchased it after not seeing it for over $ years (women never tell their age--giggle) and it still gave me the creeps. Conners does a great job as a psycho. He and his mechanical mannequins are homicidal.

A bunch of teenagers get a flat tire in the boonies and tresspass on his land. At first he is hospitable, until he gains their trust (of course). They all get it one by one. I do not want to ruin the entire movie for those who have not had the pleasure. Pick up a copy, its fun!!

Guns and dolls.......2006-10-24

(3.5/5) Three young women and two young men are stranded when both of their cars experience trouble. Coming to their rescue is a lonely widower, who bides his time grieving for his wife and the tourist resort the two had planned to build. As luck would have it, his wife is now dead and the new highway diverts traffic away from his place. Only he and Davey remain, though the kids should steer clear of Davey and his house. Probably has something to do with his telekinesis, about which he complains, "I shouldn't have to hide it. It feels good." One of the three women, Molly, has the misfortune of resembling Mr. Slausen's dead wife. The film isn't really scary, though some pretty odd behavior, decent writing and acting keep this one entertaining throughout. It has a good cast, with Chuck Connors as Mr. Slausen, and Tanya Roberts, Robin Sherwood and Jocelyn Jones as the three lovely stranded lasses. Also of note is Pino Donaggio's musical score, whose quirkiness sometimes works well within the framework and other times clashes with it. At the very least, the producers should be commended for using an original score and an orchestra rather than the ubiquitous cheesy horror movie synthesizer. The Cult Video DVD picture looks good and there is director commentary and numerous trailers.
