Trilogy of Terror 1975 ★★★˝
As its title suggests, Trilogy of terror presents three separate horror stories that each span roughly the length of sitcom episode.
I do however like the idea of how the makers cast Karen Black as a main character in each one of the stories and this for two reasons.
First of all, the makers at least try to make her look somewhat different in each story. If you have seen most of her films before, you will probably find it easier to recognize her. But as someone who not that familiar with her work just yet, it gave the desired effect.
It also gave her an opportunity to show off her verstaility as an actress. She does a solid job in the three parts, not making it feel as “oh here's so and so doing her schtick again”.
I will not go into the stories themselves, since I think it's best to go in unprepared. Suffice to say that we are dealing with three (relatively) slow burns. The first two end with a nice and well set up twist. The third one while ppredictable does offer some fun action and a cool final visual.
Maybe no Texas Chainsaw level classic, but definetily worth a watch. Check it out.
