Summary: Scared Numb!!!
Review: As most viewers, I saw this for the first time when I was a kid. Thinking back, I wish my parents hadn't let me watch it (ok, not really), because during and after the Zuni sketch, my legs went somehow numb from sheer fright! I was terrified! Even years later, my folks would mess with me if I wasn't behaving by making those doll sounds, and I would freak out and fly right! Over the years, we always rented it for Halloween, watching the first two somewhat lame segments just to build up to the grand finale...the ever-dreaded Zuni fetish doll...scares me just to type out that name! Still don't like dolls of any kind to this day...ok, back to the rubber room I go.

Summary: Trilogy of Terror
Review: I never really cared for the first two installments. They are not what I remembered about the movie. I gave it four stars simply because of the third installment "Amelia". I saw this years ago when I was a kid and it scared me to death. I've been afraid of dolls since. Just the noise the doll made while chasing Karen Black was frightening enough. And the ending is superb! Buy or rent this movie and skip to the third segment. Turn off the lights and prepare to be entertained and scared at the same time

Summary: yeah, well...um..I dunno
Review: I just got Trilogy of Terror from Amazon after anxiously awaiting it. I remember seeing Trilogy of Terror on TV when I was a kid. I was so thrilled to see that it was available on VHS. This movie scared the hell out of me as a child and I was hoping some of the "magic" would still be there. Needless to say it wasn't but it wasn't a complete waste of time either.

Like most other reviewers I found the first two segments to be very forgettable and somewhat boring.

The third segment with the Zuni fetish doll chasing Amelia (played by Karen Black) is the best and most frightening of the three segments.

While I still found this segment to be frightening, it had a completely different effect on me than when I was a kid. Instead of being afraid of the doll like I was- I was more frightened by the fear in Amelia's face when she was being chased by it. This totally convincing performance by Karen Black is what saves this segment and maybe the entire movie from falling into complete oblivian.

Summary: Fun and Creepy!
Review: You can't really say this is a "great" movie - the first two stories couldn't possibly hold a candle to the third one - but the third story makes the movie all worth wild. It's loads of fun to watch and it's also very creepy! And if you don't like it, it's great to make fun of. Be sure to check out this one!

P.S. The sequel's pretty good too.

Summary: Fun with a horror twist!
Review: Now when i was a tiny 8 years old i watched the 2nd movie.It was surprisingly good.but...the original always beat the sequel somehow!The first story about a student blackmailing is an okay segment(not good enough)the 2nd story about an evil sister is about the rank of the 1st one.but the last story to trilogy made the movie possible!Its about a zuni doll chasing a girl amelia(karen black)because its chain was removed.the ending might make you cry or shiver or gasp.Its gotta do one of those!thats my review for trilogy of terror!

Summary: It's all been done,,,before...
Review: so there is not much I can add to the glowing remarks of those reviewers preceding me. One thing does puzzle me, and that is why no one has marketed Mr. Zuni, as they have done with Buzz Lightyear, GI Joe, or the ubiquitous Barbie and Ken. Surely a screen icon like Zuni, with viewer recognition equal to that of King Kong, Robbie the Robot, or the good 'ol Creature From the Black Lagoon, would have no trouble holding his own in the marketplace. A foot high Robbie, with minute details, voice activation, and a remote control, can be had for a hefty sum. I would think that an enterprising model maker could duplicate the original Zuni in exact detail, add a voice chip with original soundtrack samples, and make a nice profit, retailing under 100 bucks. I would certainly get one!! Also like to find out more about the Zuni doll mentioned by another reviewer, in Hawaii... Permit me to also mention the sequel to "Trilogy", with Lysette Anthony. She is perfect for the part, and the remake, is almost just as good as the original. Zuni is great, but his acting abilities and his disposition, haven't improved much. The interesting thing about this film, is that it begins only a few hours after the original story concludes, but was made 25 odd years later. Dan Curtis is a genius!!! It is fun to watch these films back to back, but.....even now, I bring the dogs in, and leave some lights on....

Summary: psyche-scarring terror
Review: I saw this on TV when I was about 5. I only remember the last story and the worst nightmare of my life (the doll was jumping up and down on the side of my bed). This movie gave me a permanent fear of the dark and little dolls. I always felt strange trying to tell people who haven't seen it how scary it was, but reading the other reviews let me know that I am not alone in being deeply affected by this demonic doll. I am actually still too afraid to watch this one again. The fact that 25 years have not dulled the memory enough should be all the endorsement you need if you are looking for a good scare.

Summary: Possibly the best TV-movie ever made!
Review: This popular TV movie from "Dark Shadows" creator Dan Curtis has maintained its solid reputation mostly because of the last tale presented, "Amelia", about a possessed devil doll, but all three tales are extremely effective on their own level. In "Julie", a shy, seemingly repressed schoolteacher is blackmailed by one of her students, which has some dire consequences. The next offbeat offering, "Millicent and Therese" is truy a most unusual tale of sibling rivalry. And the final segment,"Amelia", which has elevated this movie into horror heaven, has a beautiful woman being terrorized by a tiny devil doll which comes to life in her apartment. The sexy and talented Karen Black stars in all three segments and effectively displays her amazing versatility. Though I give all three segments equal credit, I am compelled to admit that the third segment was indeed way ahead of its time and features some truly startling effects worthy of a theatrical release. This is, without a doubt, the finest made-for-TV movie I have ever seen. A must for horror buffs!
