Credits
Written by: Lawrence J. Block
Plot
Teenagers spend a night in a carnival ride.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tobe Hooper's carnival slasher traps teenagers overnight with a deformed killer. Stylish in its set design and creepy atmosphere, it is a modest, uneven but enjoyable early-1980s horror.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
