Reviewing films slightly off the beaten path
“The Funhouse” is a well made horror film from Tobe Hooper that is set apart by strong production design, its carnival setting, and Andrew Laszlo’s cinematography. Shout! Factory’s 4K UHD release is excellent.
“Poltergeist” is arguably Tobe Hooper’s greatest film. Warner Bros. has given the film a 4K release to celebrate its fortieth anniversary. It’s a wonderful film that is as scary as it is fantastic.
Tobe Hooper’s film “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” redefined horror cinema and spawned a slew of imitations. It is still frightening and disturbing almost fifty years later.
