Trilogy of Terror (1975)

Still freaks me out

I first saw this three stories tele-movie three decades ago and after finding it was on dvd, purchased Trilogy of Terror to find out if it still has a high scare factor. It does! For anyone contemplating purchase I say go right ahead but make sure you don't live alone. I won't spoil your entertainment with details, suffice to say that the first story is spooky, subtle with a knockout ending; the second will have you enthralled and the third story will make you put all the lights on in every room at night for at least a week! Karen Black shows what an actor she is, absolutely fantastic. June 10, 2008

Not the usual horror flick

This is not your usual horror flick: it has loads of psychological implications. The characters portrayed by Karen Black are almost sympathetic, which is about the best way to watch a horror movie -- having sympathy for the beast. Even FRANKENSTEIN could evoke a bit of sympathy from the viewer.
Originally saw this movie on TV back in the '70's with my spouse and we've never forgotten this triolgy.
While it isn't the greatest movie ever made (and not on par with a great classic like FRANKENSTEIN), it is MEMORABLE . . . particularly the last third of the trilogy. Some of the scenes in the last of this three-parter have never left me or my spouse.
I won't ruin the movie for anyone reading this review, except to say this is a DVD worth having. Disturbing and VERY unusual, and well worth viewing. And well worth owning your own DVD copy.
And, as a point of comparison, I saw a re-make of this movie that was very disappointing. The original TRILOGY IN TERROR is by far the best. April 1, 2008

Classic Horror film

Just as I remembered it from my childhood memories of TV Horror movies. The 3rd segment is great. March 25, 2008

Trilogy of Terror

OMG - this movie scared the heck out of me as a child and for 33 years I have had nightmares about the doll who comes to life and for some unknown reason to my husband, I have bought the movie to watch and freak out over again for the next 33 years of my life. I must be silly! If you want to be frightened beyond belief...watch this movie (just remember how old it is and accept the graphics for the age of the movie). Enjoy but don't sleep alone tonight...

Awesome just as I remembered

I love this movie! A lot of people really like the third episode but I love all three of them. Karen Black does a wonderful job in this movie and after watching the interview with her- it was very interesting how they filmed Ameila with the doll especially to make it look real when it's running around LOL- love it- its definitely worth owning.
