Rating: 5 stars
Summary: After this movie, I needed therapy!
Review: The Zuni fetish story scared me to death! This is the proverbial "Evil Doll" story. Chuckie cant even come close! Just thinking about it makes me freak out! Karen Black does an excellent job in all the stories also. I once saw a photo of a friends trip to Hawaii and there was a pciture of that doll! So look out people.... he does exist!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the scariest movie ever made
Review: For sci-fi/horror, this has got to be the most terrifying film ever produced. Karen Black's performance makes it real... if it wasn't for her totally convincing performance, this would have been one cheesy, easily forgettable show.

The Zuni doll's movements are quick, but still wooden and wouldn't be accepted as real if it wasn't for the sheer terror in Black's eyes as she literally fights for her life.

Yes it's campy... and often cheesy and dated by fashion (lapels out to Mars, bellbottoms, false eyelashes, etc.)... and I was torn on how to rate this. "Schindler's List" also gets 5 stars, but obviously, this film is not suited shine the proverbial shoes of that movie.

My 5-star rating stems from the fact that this was billed as a horror flick and the title, "Trilogy of Terror," couldn't be truer. The little doll is the most terrifying thing ever to be on-screen.

Don't see this late at night if you live by yourself and don't have a dog... it will scare the willies out of you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: KAREN BLACK PLAYS FOUR ROLES WITH DEVILISH DELIGHT!
Review: The awesome Karen Black rocks her way through 4 different roles in this classic horror flick. The other reviewers didn't even recognize her as being in all the segments-is that a testament to her great acting or what! This is a must have for any horror fan. The Zuni Doll segment is great but so are the other two, Richard Matheson wrote the tales and they are GREAt.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A nostalgic movie is the best!
Review: I can recall seeing a photo of the Zuni doll in the TV Guide before it aired. I was only five at the time so my mom made me go to bed before it came on. That picture scared me and I had nightmares. I had never seen the movie until now. I can see why she made me go to bed early! This is a must see!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The one and only terror.
Review: I believe Leonard Maltin must have watched "Trilogy of Terror" on videotape at full speed scan in order to craft his review. Albeit two out of three terrors would have a hard time spooking the cat, the Karen Black segment will make even an experienced (read, jaded) horror aficionado squirm in his or her seat. Karen's performance carries the whole load here and makes this little made for TV anthology worth the price of admission...no kidding.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Karen Black Segment made an impression on us all.
Review: I remember the first time I saw these three stories and only one stood out. The story about the little killer doll that chases Karen Black around her house before it takes possesion of her soul. My sister was so frightened we think it causeed permanant emotional distress. And I've heard other people say the same thing. Even men. Leonard Maltin knows not of what he speaks. Ask people you know who are in their late 30's. You'll find that a lot of people have this movie burned into thier imaginations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outta Control!
Review: All I have to say is...KAREN BLACK rocks! -She is the queen of overacting! Always an afternoon movie on channel five--- it scared the PANTS off of me as a 8 year old kid! Obviously, the last vignette being the most terrifying. Memories of that doll and Miss Black's face when she became the doll at the end made me flick off the lights fast in the basement after playing Barbies and RUN for my life! Then, as an adult (22 years later!)--I was surprised to learn a lot of my friends not only saw it,also on those rainy afternoons,in front of their little black+white tvs, but were scared/scarred by its campiness (! ) just as much as I was. THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE-FORGET TITANIC+CITIZEN CANE! :) LONG LIVE ZUNI FETISH!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trilogy of Terror "The Doll"
Review: Over 20 yrs. has passed since I have seen this intense movie and I have not forgotten it. I vaguely remember the other 2 stories but this one sticks in my mind the most. A voodoo doll with a little knife terrorizis a lady after accidently losing the chain on the doll. This movie has many surprises and a very wierd and disturbing ending. This movie is a must see, however, make sure you watch it with no expectations whatsoever and you will enjoy it immensly (or at least find yourself having nightmares).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Over twenty years later, the doll still scares me
Review: I have only seen this film once before, and I have never been able to forget the Zuni doll from the third story. For something to stick with you that long, it must be good!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUN!FUN!FUN!
Review: This has got to be one of the funnest movies I have ever seen. It's creepy, atmospheric, and suspenseful. The first tale, JULIE, gives the movie a great start with a suspenseful story and twisted ending. The movie however does begin to drift a bit with the second story, MILLICENT AND THERESE, although the ending might surprise some. I guessed it though. The third story,AMELIA, is by far the best thing in the world. I had the most fun in years watching the little zuni doll running around the apartment, chasing after Karen Black. I couldn't stop laughing. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen! That doll is one evil little dude. You'll find yourself laughing hysterically and begging for more. The closing sequence is truly disturbing!
