DVD Reviews of Tower of Terror
DVD Review: All too predictable and muddled "horror" movie for kids
Summary: 3 Stars
Among all the Halloween-themed movies that overan television screens last month was this 1997 movie featuring rising A-list star Kirsten Dunst (who despite her young age has managed to rack up some impressive screen credits). Dunst plays niece to disgraced journalist Buzzy (played with frenetic energy by Steve Guttenberg) who is forced to concocting tabloid on a freelance basis and seeking that one more shot at redemption and at being taken seriously by his former colleagues.
For those of us who have taken a ride on that giant yo-yo ride at Disney MGM this movie brings back vivid memories about the plunging drop to the bottom only to be sprung back up again and again, but unfortunately that's about where my interest in the movie ended. The story seeks to provide some more background to the ride which should in itself be a warning light. With the definite exception of "Pirates of the Caribbean" it certainly makes more sense to base a ride on a popular movie rather than the other way around. I was one person left blue and shaken by the ride (my girlfriend at the time expressed guilt at having persuaded me to take the plunge). But this weak production did little to inspire any emotion, other than a constant eye on the time to wonder when this overacted movie with a telegraphed plot would come to an end. There are no surprises here, we know who the main villain is from the start (which much like the equally predictable and easy-to-figure out early on 'Sixth Sense') the movie still tries to shroud as a twist ending.
Fans of Dunst will probably enjoy this movie and those who enjoy cheesy, bad horror movies may also get a good chuckle from this picture, but its hard to recommend a movie that treads down so many familiar plot lanes and fails to inspire an emotional involvement in the movie.
