6/10
House of Texas chainsaw massacre
23 March 2021
Tourist trap it is a basic film similar the Texas chainsaw massacre & house of wax with its countryside setting to it. A bunch of friends are out for a drive and they come across a roadside attraction and stop by only to be pursued by a mask killer. A basic idea for a horror film by today's standards but back then it was more fresh. While all the characters Aren't that interesting with the exception of Chuck Connors none of them are really unlikable. They do tend to jump to basic tropes such as running off further into the woods away from help. Or exploring random houses not without even announcing their selves. Overall the thing that will determine how one feels watching this movie is how you feel about dolls and manikins. The overall highlight of the film. Rooms and rooms just chock-full of manikins with creepy faces. Even in the background there's always something staring back at you all the mannikins with their fix positions creepy grins offers somewhat of a uncomfortable atmosphere to the film. Tourist trap is your average horror film that is good for a watch and have some memorable things to take from it.
