Review of The Funhouse (1981) by Generoso F — 05 Oct 2012
Was so glad the Coolidge showed a remastered print of this last night. It's playing again tonight. This is a mostly ignored Tobe Cooper gem, made at the height of slasher films but isn't one of them.
It brilliantly plays on how horror tropes were subverted during that time and returns it to it's core. The use of the younger brother as an observer to all that is happening, creating an almost dreamlike feel for most of the film was brilliant.
