Finished watching The Funhouse...and I was impressed by it. Given my love for slashers, especially from the 80s, this doesn't disappoint the appetite at all. The plot is simple and paper-thin (ala most teen slashers), and I thought the killer/monster was grotesque enough to elicit horrific reactions from the viewers. The minor flaws were the characterisation - Hooper could have made more believable characters (although all the actors do their best), and the first 35-40 mins is a bit slow for a slasher, although one may argue that its the buildup to the delicious 2nd half coming up. All in all, I would give it a 07/10.
My vote is for The Virgin Spring. Would love to see Bergman's masterpiece and the reactions from you all.
