Product Description

Something is alive in The Funhouse!

The carnival is a place for fun and laughter, but not for Amy and her friends. When their childish dare to stay all night in the spooky funhouse backfires, it leaves a trail of dismembered teenagers a mile long in Tobe Hooper s classic video nasty era slasher.

Will anyone escape the clutches of the stumbling madman that stalks to sideshow? Is there no end to the carnival barkers chilling sadism? The only way to find out is ascend into the funhouse, where the games have no rules and the only prize on offer is a grisly demise.

Join us in The Funhouse. So much fun that you ll never leave...Alive!

5.0 out of 5 stars A WARNING TO US BUYERS, 30 July 2011
By 
This review is from: The Funhouse [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I bought this BR pretty much knowing that it would play on US players. And it does.
HOWEVER... the extras do NOT work in any BR player made by Sony. I bought three copies before I read a tiny tiny post somewhere warning that the extras won't play on any Sony BR player.
I thought the BR was defective.
It's still a terrific movie, and it's great to see in 1080p, and the 3 commentary track are great to listen to. (this being one of the first commentary tracks I listened to all the way through...let alone THREE different times.)
But US buyers beware! I don't quite understand WHY, but the fact remains that you will not be able to watch the extras with a Sony BR player. Just a warning.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tobe Hooper Classic, 20 July 2011
By 
S. C. Rocha (Aracaju,SE Brasil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Funhouse [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Tobe Hooper made this film after the success of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). After an aborted project (Eaten Alive, 1977) and a telefilm (Salem's Lot, 1981). The film shows a sure directorial skill that would fade little by little after his Lifeforce (1985). The film revolves around a group of teenagers who decides to spend the night inside a dark ride (The Funhouse) and witness a murder between two members of the circus. After this they are hunted by the by the deformed killer and his father and... well, the rest is the usual nerve wrecking scenes. This film had a huge mark on me when I watched it in television in my infancy, I remembered it for long time and unfortunately it was rare to show on TV and since I didn't had a VCR I couldn't watch it anywhere, when I got older I imported it on DVD, which is the copy I own. After a gap of some 15 years, the film still has the sinister mood of my recollection. It is sad that Hooper career followed a downward spiral, none of his films has the force of TTCM, though he came close in Funhouse and with Poltergeist (1982).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Release!!, 6 Aug 2011
By 
Eugene Evans "Fasteddie" (Baltimore,MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Funhouse [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Wow,talk about a good time movie!! I have never been let down yet by Arrow and this is no exception!!..First of all,the transfer looks amazing and the sound is up to par..Its chock full of extras and I loved the "Carnage at the Carnival" with Tobe Hooper himself,that was a real treat! All of the extras and bonus footage was awesome and played flawlessly on my blu ray player.
The film itself is a great tale of terror from my youth.I think its Hoopers great directing once again that ties the whole film together.Great cinematography,lighting,and scenery make this one wild ride of horror.The soundtrack is great and does what its supposed to in keeping you on the edge of your seat.The ending of this film is true Hooper style, in having the anxiety build and build for a good ten minutes before the climax.
Oh,I think I also heard something about Eli Roth??!!..Check it out for yourself,I dont want to ruin the surprise!!..Overall I give this release 5 out of 5 stars!!..Its a must own for any horror lover!!
