    Dull. It really didn't do much for me. In its defense, I only recently saw it for the first time. But I found the story disjointed, lacking tension, and very predictable.

    Extremely creepy and scary as hell. One of Steven King's favs as well as mine. Great performance by Chuck Connors.

    One of the most underrated and enjoyable psychological horror thrillers around! it's from the producers of "Re-Animator" and a great cult classic all the way, slasher fans should seek out this gem.

    Despite being fairly enjoyable at times, this slasher movie didn't really do anything special or unique to make itself stand out. It seemed like for the middle 30 minutes they were just standing in a room talking.

    A low budget 70's flick with wooden acting. Definitely there is nothing really scary or creepy about this film.

    Not my favorite movie at all. Very old and borning. You have to really have a fear of maniquins and like old movies to enjoy this flick

    I haven't seen this movie and I probably never will, but that cover haunted my dreams when I was a youth.

    I know I saw this as a kid, but the only thing I remember is a scene where a woman gets smothered to death with a bowl of plaster. By the director of Crawlspace and Puppet Master.

    This was . . . special. Think of Tourist Trap as the bridge between House of Wax '53 and '05, but add some telepathy, animatronic mannequins, and big gooey mounds of plaster. Creepy in places, violent at times, and overall very, very bizarre. An interesting watch.

    If you can enjoy older horror films this really was not to bad. I was hoping for the poor sex scenes that are in most clasic horror films, BUT, its ok, i was still not unsatisfied.

    The creepiest movie featuring mannequins or anything of that ilk. Really surprised me. A lot of nightmarish scenes. If you haven't seen it, it's a better version of the House of Wax remake.

    This is a knock off film in vien of chainsaw mascure but dispite it poor script and low budget Tanya Roberts does a fair job.

    Scary, tricky little American horror gem. Chuck Connors is grossly miscast but everyone else is pretty good. I, for one, think this film was a major influence on many of the current "sweaty" horror films coming out now (Wrong Turn, Devils Rejects and the numerous remakes--House of Wax, Hills Have Eyes, Chainsaw, etc.) Worth checking out.

    I think one of the most under-rated horror movies. It's got a death scene that had no blood whatsoever but still gives me the chills. Very creepy.
