Tobe Hooper directs this little B-horror flick about some stupid teens who decide to stay the night in a carnival funhouse that has more than just attractions going on. The film starts off pretty well with homages to all kinds of classic horror films: Wolf Man, Frankenstein, Psycho, Halloween. The teen actors are okay I guess. As the film progresses, though, it just keeps getting worse. By the end of the film, the characters no longer function under any semblance of rationality. The film's sets are interesting and well-lit, using a lot of colored gel lighting to get the funhouse idea across. The makeup effects are pretty good. A good number of the scenes went on too long, especially towards the end of the film, causing the film to drag giving you enough time to absorb just how stupid the characters' actions are. And I mean stupid.
6/10
