1.0 out of 5 starsWARNING: Tourist Trap 1979 Full Moon Blu-Ray - DON'T BUY - EDITED VERSION
By Laura D. on June 7, 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Don't buy the Full Moon Blu-Ray release of this film, look for an older DVD release. The movie itself is great, truly worth seeking out. A real treat for the seasoned or casual horror fan, but the Full Moon Blu-Ray version is horrible. The movie is missing 5 minutes! the run time on the Blu-Ray disc is exactly 85 minutes, although this is supposed to be a 90 minute film! The picture and sound quality is terrible as well. I regret purchasing this Blu-Ray, and I wish I just stuck with my unedited DVD copy. Don't support Full Moon's garbage releases, or they will just keep taking advantage of their fans. I'll never buy another disc from Full Moon again.

5.0 out of 5 starsSee my Friend! Molly!
By Amazon Customer on January 21, 2000
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
One of the best horror films of the 1970's has finally been given a long overdue home video makeover. TOURIST TRAP is the most frightening movie ever made about mannequins, and a classic example that a low budget can be a horror film's greatest asset. In today's predictable, estrogen-driven MTV style of filmmaking wherein the writers believe that blood, gore, and throwaway lines are the ingredients necessary to make a horror film, TOURIST TRAP blows that notion out of the water. The film possesses an air of originality thanks to Nicholas Von Sternberg's beautiful visual style and superb editing by Ted Nicolaou. The story itself is similar to PSYCHO, but it's done with such pinache that one might not initially realize it. Brian DePalma's SISTERS (1973) is another great PSYCHO inspiration that you should check out if you already have not.
I first saw this movie one Saturday afternoon on TV in the mid-80's and it left one hell of an impression on me. It begins with what is unquestionably one of the most bizarre and frightening openings ever done in a horror film. A group of friends are on vacation when one of their tires blows out. Woody, the driver, walks to a gas station to get some help, but he finds himself in a situation that would give just about anyone a heart attack.
Enter Chuck Connors. He gives a wonderful and ultimately surprisingly sympathetic performance as Mr. Slausen, a congenial and charming gentleman who owns a now-defunct roadside souvenir shop/wax museum. When he meets up with Woody's friends who are concerned about Woody's whereabouts, Mr. Slausen comes to the rescue, but a series of horrendously bizarre events begin to transpire.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGet Caught in the TRAP!
By Brett D. Cullum VINE VOICE on July 23, 2003
Format: DVD
THE TOURIST TRAP was mentioned by STEPHEN KING as one of his favorite movies. It was supposed to reinvent Chuck Connors as a Lon Chaney for the 1980s. It didn't do great at the box office, because ... well it was surrounded by other slasher flicks that were R-rated, and despite what it says on the box this only earned a PG. But it has endured to become a cult classic, largely due to the fact it was easily shown on television (don't have to cut much out!).
It's a creepy little story about a group of teens who get stranded on a lonely highway, and taken to a curious wax museum where they are picked off one by one in order of their sexual promiscuity. Sounds pretty typical for 80s horror, but this one has the killer having telekinetic powers so that objects fly, manequins scream, and mayhem breaks out. The climax is very different from its peer group! The last shot of the movie burns into your mind, and suddenly you realize ... TOURIST TRAP ain't a bad place to find some shivers! Kinda like CARRIE crossed with HALLOWEEN! Odd note is that Dino Pinaggio who scored CARRIE also worked on the music for this one.
This DVD version features a wide-screen transfer, and commentary by the director. And it's cheap! You get a lot of bang for the buck here. If you're a horror fan this is a must. If you don't like the gore in most horror movies this is a must! It's a creepy classic that should have everybody caught in its spell.

1.0 out of 5 starsDisc is missing five minutes, has a terrible bitrate and has numerous frame rate problems
By Pen Name on April 19, 2014
Format: Blu-ray
There are five minutes mysteriously deleted from this edition of Tourist Trap, as well as several frame rate conversion errors. In addition the disc has a paltry file size of just over 9 GB for the film itself - barely better than a dual-layer DVD! - and a correspondingly anemic bitrate. Avoid this release at all costs, it is a typical Full Moon con job!

5.0 out of 5 starsTanya Roberts will keep your eyes glued to the screen, and the horror film aspects are quite gripping too...
By Leslie Karen Rigsbey on February 5, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Multi-lingual, well educated, teacher-turned-filmmaker (or vice versa?) David Schmoeller has outdone himself with "Tourist Trap," another 1979 horror outing that raises the hair of all who encounter it, mostly for the better. I appreciate the fact that the blood and violence were limited here, as the result is actually a low-budget (and low scream, thank God, I'm so tired of the screaming sounds in these otherwise good horror pictures) and low-brow yet nonetheless memorable horror movie concoction. Everyone's favorite rifleman Chuck Connors is on display as a rather cranky guardian of a wax museum whose "brother" is up to no good when a travelling group of teens come through town. The movie leaves you teetering on the verge of saying was that supernatural (?) or was that mechanical (?) and really pulls you in with Connors's effective mannerisms, all of which yields up an incredibly eerie performance that I didn't know he had in him.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars... bought this on a whim and boy an I glad I did

I bought this on a whim and boy an I glad I did. Chuck Connors is absolutely terrifying in this role. Defiantly has a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe to it, well without the chainsaw. Read more

Oh good Lord, if you like cheesy '80s horror, your life is incomplete without this. Chuck Connors had to be laughing himself silly in between takes. Fantastic.
