The Funhouse (1981)
1/10
Not fun
26 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
You've seen this slasher film many times before. A bunch of kids spend the night in a funhouse. One of the girls gets to show off her body in the shower for no reason except the director wanted to see her nude. The kids have boring sex. The kids who have boring sex get knifed by some goon in a mask. The one girl who doesn't have sex does not get knifed by some goon in a mask. Now throw in some puppets with bobbing heads. Why? Who cares.

Tobe Hooper, whose only claim to fame is the miserable Texas Chain Saw Massacre, serves up another bomb in Funhouse. The effects are cheesy which is surprising because Rick Baker did them.

Funhouse is unwatchable, boring, derivative, predictable, dull, did I mention boring, over talkative, uninteresting and did I mention boring.

Funhouse rips off Halloween and Psycho.

Did I mention this film is boring?
