Summary: fantastic example of cheesy 80's style horror
Review: If you're looking for cheesy horror that's so bad it's good, then you should get this. It's so great because it's SO bad. The plot is ridiculous, the costumes are silly, the dialogue is hilarious. Basically there is nothing about this movie that's thought provoking, or really even all that intelligent. It's something you watch because it's supposed to be scary, it's totally not, and it's absolutely wonderful because of that.

Summary: Leave room for some "Popcorn"
Review: In the early 1990's, before releases such as "Darkman", and "The Silence of the Lambs", when horror films were at an all-time low, and America was bombarded with cheesy made for video horror comedies, this odd, but entertaining thriller was released in theaters.The plot was simple, an all night horror movie marathon is silently stalked by a psychopath who may or may not be a killer from the past who has come to finish what he started. It starts off as any cheesy horror film would, with a lame dream sequence, but quickly turns into much more. The recreations of many classic 50's horror films, which is definitely the high point of the film, is worth the viewing alone. The film is wacky, funny, and gory, very reminiscent of the opening in "Scream 2" which makes me wonder if Kevin Williamson ever had an original thought in that brain of his(also see "Happy Birthday to Me") The only weak point of the film is the ending, which was somewhat of a disappointment. This is never meant to be taken seriously and thats the fun of it all...turn off the lights and enjoy!!

Summary: great slasher film for the 'scream' fan.
Review: it's been a while since i have seen this movie, but i remember as a kid i used to love it. Since my recent fascination with horror movies began, i looked everywhere for this movie and had trouble finding it under 90 bucks. Reel.com carries the used copy for 10 bucks plus shipping. If u like slasher films or collect horror movies, this is a must have. The plot takes place in a movie theatre, different from other slasher films and the identity of the killer is not revealed until the end. If u liked the recent string of teen slasher films, you'll also like this movie. It's fun and interesting.

Summary: Corn Nothin' to SCREAM About
Review: Long before Wes Craven came up with "Scream," this little thriller came to be. Nearly a cult classic, this chiller follows a group of people sitting through a horror marathon. Unlike "Demons," this is nothing more than slice and dice slasher on the loose crapola. It does generate a few scary moments, but generates many more laughs in its lame attempt to scare us. Its fun to see fresh faces mixed in with old has been actors wondering how the heckydern they got stuck in such dribble.

Summary: Buy a bag, go home in a box
Review: Popcorn -- It gets stuck in your teeth, it makes your fingers greasy, it makes you thirsty, it's an entertaining movie about a psycho killer murdering kids at an all-night movie marathon.
Before horror movies became slick and stylish, staring today's "hottest" actors, there were terrifying movies like "Popcorn". Fun, enjoyable and bloody! "Popcorn" is filled with the screams and jolts that you expect from a horror movie, and the powerful storyline and acting that you don't. The murders are creative and brutal, leaving you unsure of who you should cheer for - the killer, or his victims.
Surprise appearances by Dee Wallace-Stone ("E.T.") and Ray Walston ("My Favorite Martian"), make "Popcorn" the perfect movie to watch during those chilly Autumn nights.

Summary: Interesting movie
Review: This film is a must see for any horror fan, regardless of what the other reviewer says. Yes, not a lot of gore, etc.. but it is a gateway film, and was ahead of it's time. This movie made movies like Scream and Urban Legends possible. Any student of horror movies should have this on their 'must see' list.

Summary: Buy a bag... Go home in a box!
Review: This is a great novie and im hapy it was released on DVD. This is also a rare movie I never expected to come out on DVD but it did. Popcorn changed the horror movie world forever, if it wasn't for popcorn movies like Scream wouldn't have been made famous.This movie is weird and creepy it is about some guy that kills his family on stage, then comes back to wreak more havoc during an all-night Horror-thon! I love the actions that you get from the crowd at the Horror-thon it's very funny some of the things they say or do. The villain in this movie steals the faces off his victims(as depicted in the front cover). If you are really into slasher movies try this you might see some very similar happenings.

Summary: Not for the true horror fan
Review: This is a horror/thriller about a killer running amok during a movie marathon. The idea behind the movie is sort of cool and ahead of its time, being that is was released in theaters in 1989. I think that is the only real positive thing I can say about this film. As far as acting goes, the movie stars Jill Schoelen and Tom Villard as the main charecters, and the acting is terrible and unconvincing. Also, the movie is not scary at all, in fact they try to make it funny by adding jokes. This is definitly not for the hard core horror fan, but maybe fans of the Scream and Urban Legend type of horror movies might find something special in this movie. As for quality, it made a good transition to DVD, although a bit grainy in some scenes. The sound is also decent throughout most of the movie. One thing it could have used is more extras added to the DVD.

Summary: Its a horror movie like "Scream"
Review: This movie was real great, but i dont like the acting (Wallace was boring). You should see "Nightmare on the 13th floor" if you want REAL horror!

Summary: GOOD HORROR MOVIE
Review: This movie was really good it had one of my favorite actress, Jill Schoelen who was great in STEPFATHER(loved the shower scene, she has a great body! ) alittle bit of who did it and why, plus revenge for being at the wrong place at the wrong time secenario. the girl behind the popcorn counter selling popcorn,candy ect.... was also in Nightmare on Elm Street 5. So if you have nothing to do Saturday night rent the movie or buy it like I did and enjoy a goood movie.
