While the carnival seems like a nice place to go on a double date, it can also serve as a terror filled and confusing location, especially when your life is in danger. Amy's (Elizabeth Berridge) father tries to warn her against going to the carnival, but she goes opposite his wishes and allows Buzz (Cooper Huckabee) to take her there on their first date. These two are joined by Richie (Miles Chapin) and Liz (Largo Woodruff), and all four seem ready for a fun filled double date at the carnival. As they peruse the grounds, they end up drawn to a mysterious funhouse and venture inside. Once inside, the foursome decides to spend the night inside the funhouse, as both a prank and test of courage.
While this starts off in good enough fun, they soon bear witness to a murder, when a deformed man kills a fortune teller in a bitter rage. When the four attempt to escape from the funhouse, they find themselves lost within the confusing mazes and mirrors. While hiding, one of them drops a flashlight which causes some noise and alerts the deformed funhouse operator's son that someone is inside. Can these teens escape from this hellish funhouse, or will the deformed man lay waste to them all, much like he did the fortune teller?
This is an ok movie, based on a book by Dean Koontz, and directed by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) its not that great. A group of teenagers fuck around at a carnival and pay the price, not like its something new. Not to mention it's the same scene over and over, inside the fuckin Funhouse. Amy is a pretty hot chick, but she cant cry, or scream worth shit. Other than that, the make-up and killings are ok, even tho their are only 6 killings. + nudity, drugs, and a peep show. I recommend this movie if u have seen everything else, and are extremely bored. But don't expect a pleasant ride in The Funhouse.
