Cinema Crazed - 8/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.[Director] Kuehn's documentary is a thrilling and excellent celebration of horror and the movie theater community...
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 7/10 by Rob ThomasBefore there was DVD, people actually paid money to watch these slapped-together clip jobs.
User Review - 10/10 by Chest RAny horror fan of the 80s has got to buy this. This is the BEST compilation vid of horror movies. Its mostly John Carpenter's movies, but I have found myself watching the credits of this movie to find titles of the OTHER movies shown on THIS tape that are worthy of a gander.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris MA must see for anyone thinking about starting out into the horror genre. It's filled with tons of great clips and moments from some of the best horror films of all time. It demands a DVD release!
User Review - 10/10 by Jason Dgreat previews, for scary movies for halloween! Check it out!
User Review - 10/10 by Gordon TOF course TERROR IN THE AISLES is a FLAT, INSIGHTFUL DOCUMENTARY . . . it was made for a GODDAMN American Mainstream Audience and we ALL KNOW how STUPID Average American Movie-Goers are . . .BULLSHIT "vampire movies" like TWILIGHT and BULLSHIT "Vampire TV SHOWS" like TRUE BLOOD get all the recognition while LET THE RIGHT ONE IN and REC go FUCKIN' unnoticed here in North America. An American Audience can't understand anything other than a FLAT documentary playing in a local multiplex. So, I have to take TERROR IN THE AISLES "need" to capture an American Mainstream audience into consideration in giving it a one hundred percent. First TERROR IN THE AISLES is handicapped because it can't go above an R-RATING by the MPAA and then its handicapped even further bevause it has to appeal to Average Americans. Terror in the aisles: Terror - 5 dictionary results ter?ror   terror pronunciation /ˈtɛrər/ Show Spelled[ter-er] Show IPA ?noun 1. intense, sharp, overmastering fear: to be frantic with terror. 2. an instance or cause of intense fear or anxiety; quality of causing terror: to be a terror to evildoers. 3. any period of frightful violence or bloodshed likened to the Reign of Terror in France. 4. violence or threats of violence used for intimidation or coercion; terrorism. 5. Informal. a person or thing that is especially annoying or unpleasant. hor?ror (hôr r, h r -) n. 1. An intense, painful feeling of repugnance and fear. See Synonyms at fear. 2. Intense dislike; abhorrence. 3. A cause of horror. 4. Informal Something unpleasant, ugly, or disagreeable: That hat is a horror. 5. horrors Informal Intense nervous depression or anxiety. Often used with the. FEAR a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid. ... unpleasant adj 1: not pleasant; "an unpleasant personality"; "unpleasant repercussions"; "unpleasant odors" [ant: pleasant] 2: causing disapproval or protest; "a vulgar and objectionable person" [syn: objectionable, obnoxious] 3: very unpleasant or annoying Horror movies are ?UNLIKABLE? by most people based upon the following definitions: No normal-person likes unpleasant feelings . . . Then the next part of the argument is if a person is used to unpleasant feelings or is used to being in the middle of unpleasant situations than Horror and Terror Movies will compliment and/or augment his natural persecption and/or schema. Consider TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING; LEATHERFACE is born in a slaughterhouse; all Leatherface knows or is familiar with is the slaughterhouse: blood smearing the floors and the walls even the ceiling . . . furthermore Leatherface is used to seeing entrails (intestines), gory innards (brains, bones, etc.). . .and Leatherface is used to the STENCH of decay and spoiling meat and experiencing the ongoing agony of the animals as they?re being slaughtered, decapitated ALIVE. So, since Leatherface?s World has been completely comprised of death and decay and agony, Leatherface may be predisposed to being drawn to HORROR (death, decay, blood, and agony) associated with The Slaughterhouse in which he was literally born in. Leatherface may even PREFER The UGLY trappings of THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE because The Slaughterhouse is or was his first HOME. Now: I ?grew-up? in our family?s funeral home in Philadelphia (scrubbing-down the morgue [plenty of decay and blood there]) . . . as a result of spending A LOT of time in our funeral home?s morgue I?m used to/familiar with blood and decay. Therefore I prefer HORROR MOVIES because Horror Movies reflect the environment surrounding me during my youth. Most people (Most Americans) don?t like Horror Movies (like CANNIBAL FEROX, ANTHROPOPHAGUS, DEMONS, THE GATES OF HELL) because they aren?t used to DISGUSTING THINGS; in many American-Childhoods the Norm is to ignore and avoid what is unpleasant and/or displeasing. If something?s unpleasant, the Average American will remove himself from the situation rather than accept or ?put-up? with the unpleasantness; that?s why RED-LINING and SEGREGATION and WHITE-FLIGHHT (still) occur here in America because if things are either unpleasant and/or are disagreeable to Americans, the source of the unpleasant feeling is removed or the person being made to feel unpleasantly removes themselves from the situation. (It?s a little like putting ?Special Education? kids in the school?s basement) Americans don?t like to deal with ?Ugly?). FIGURE, it?s the PSYCHOLOGICAL DISPOSITION of AMERICANS to abhors and try to ?get rid of? what they think is unpleasant; this is why I may sometimes overhear Americans say America should NUKE AFGHANISTAN. NUKING AFGHANISTAN would quickly ?get-rid? of/dispose of ALL Afghanistanis . . . To Americans, Afghanistanis are unpleasant to look-at and Afghanistan culture is disagreeable to the Average American?s culture. I heard on TV the other night one character call another character ?Darkie? and said that ?Darkies should know their place? . . . And I think about how my FAVORITE HORROR MOVIES always end-up ?on 42nd street? so to speak and never in ?plush? suburban multiplexes so to speak. (In fact our funeral home is/was on the corner of 42nd Street [in West Philadelphia} Its like: to the Average American, Horror Movies (like BLACK SUNDAY, BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, SUSPIRA, ZOMBI FLESH EATERS, THE BEYOND, THE GATES OF HELL) are akin to being ?THE DARKIES? of CINEMA here in America. ---TERROR IN THE AISLES is a mainstream variation of FILMGORE and TERROR ON TAPE so it shouldn?t be a hundred percent, but since it had to be subject to the MPAA?S gauntlet of cuts in order to avoid an X-Rating, we forgive it for its limitations . . . and it?s not insightful either. But MEL GIBSON, during an interview on the PAYBACK: STRAIGHT-UP DIRECTORS cut said that mainstream films can?t be too ?insightful? or ?hard to follow? because a large-audience would not be able to follow and be entertained. MEL went on to say that if PAYBACK was sheered of its expository scenes it would only appeal to an elite audience. And MEL GIBSON is AWESOME (and that?s his deal: to entertain a LARGE audience). . . . Ultimately HORROR MOVIES are BLACK DOGS to mainstream American Movie-Goers and film-critics ?they can?t see the beauty in HORROR and The Macabre . . . because AMERICANS never EMBRACE ?THE DARK SIDE? because The Dark Side is uncomfortable to people: and that?s a shame . . . and then when anything ?slides? into THE DARK SIDE as I put it, Americans ?point fingers? and ?ridicule? and ?stuff? . . . This BEAUTIFUL GIRL in a BLACK DRESS is truly inspiring.
User Review - 10/10 by Kyle WIf you've ever wanted to see Donald Pleasence walk around an empty movie theater and speak a bunch of random jibberish, then cut to a very random clip from a horror movie, then back to Donald Pleasence again.... then you should totally check out Terror in the Aisles! This "movie" isn't a movie. It's a compilation of trailers and scenes from a bunch of (apparently picked at random) horror, sci-fi, and this awesome movie where a guy dressed as Santa Clause robs a bank and yells "put the money in the bag, fucker". Really cheesy.... which is what makes it TOTALLY worth seeing!
User Review - 8/10 by jessica julieth pThis is a "documentary" which bascially allows for clips from almost every major horror film up to 1983 to be shown....GREAT stuff....it's basically a horror highlight reel.
User Review - 8/10 by DonraleighI still don't care to see Vice Squad.
User Review - 8/10 by Brian CAn entertaining documentary on terror in films focusing on horror, suspense, science fiction movies and thrillers from the classics to modern films. Hosted by Donald Pleasence (Halloween) and Nancy Allen (Robocop). "Terror in the Aisles" features clips of scenes and trailers from some of the most thrilling, shocking and terrifying movies ever made (at least up to 1983). While this type of thing may not appeal to everyone, it is fun trying to point out all the different movies that are touched upon throughout the film by the scenes that are shown and Pleasence does add a certain air to the presentation that really adds to the fun. Here is a list of some movies from which clips are shown. Halloween Halloween II Frankenstein Bride of Frankenstein The Wolf Man The Creature From the Black Lagoon Tarantula The Deadly Mantis King Kong vs. Godzilla Wait Until Dark The Birds Psycho An American Werewolf in London The Howling The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
