The teenager Amy Harper dates Buzz Dawson for the first time and they go to the carnival with their friends Richie and Liz. They smoke grass and have good-time visiting the attractions including a side show with freak animals. The silly Richie suggests the group to spend the night in the Funhouse for fun. During the night, they witness the murder of the fortune teller Madame Zena by a man wearing a mask of Frankenstein from an opening in the ceiling of a room. They decide to leave the fun house but they find all the exits locked. Meanwhile Richie sneaks in the room and steals the money of the manager of the place. The masked man returns with his father and owner of the fun house to show the corpse of Madame Zena; when the man realizes that he had been robbed, he presses his son that removes the mask and shows his horrible face. Richie startles and drops his lighter in the room. The owner asks his freak son to chase the thieves and eyewitnesses in a night of terror for the teenagers.
Leave your thoughts about The Funhouse.
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanAn underrated gem, a mini-masterpiece of frights and atmosphere. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussWith its two-headed cow, mutant baby in a jar, jokes about bestiality, references to 'Bride of Frankenstein' and misbegotten monster, this is very much a horror movie that contemplates, with awe and terror, the sometimes terrible consequences of sex. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasHooper doesn’t entirely escape the rote business of semi-regular mutilations and impalings, but The Funhouse succeeds in updating a monster from the Universal pantheon and setting it loose in the type of traveling death trap that’s been haunting small towns forever. |
| IGNR. L. ShafferDespite all the cinematic thievery and homage, The Funhouse manages to stand on its own as an eerie, slow-brewing slasher that builds quite a bit of effective tension and dread leading into the more generic final act. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaLento e aborrecido, consegue criar tensão em um ou outro momento, mas só. |
| The Age (Australia)Jake Wilson[Tobe Hooper] shows both his range and his thematic consistency in this luscious, morbid 1981 fairytale. |
| MTVCharles WebbA terrific twist with its killer makes it one worth seeking out. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergNot as fun as it should be, but worth a visit. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterEasily one of Tobe Hooper's better films as it entertains and frightens without ever feeling the need to sink into debauchery or tawdry terror. |
| The New York TimesJohn CorryMr. Hooper almost persuades us that he is up to more than just gore, creepiness and trauma. |
