Summary: Great acting.
Review: I truly believe Karen Black is an exceptional Actress This movie truly shows it. One review says this movie was boring i respect his opinion but you truly need to appreciate the Artistic quality of Karen Blacks acting ablties and a movie that does not need gore to be good. Sometimes horror movies are more Frightning When there is no gore. Anyhow I truly love this movie and I am upset that is out of print. I think it is a bit overpriced. I don't really know why this movie when out of print but I hope that anchorbay releases a Two dvd edition with both the first and second movie because the second one is great as well.Anyway if you have this dvd keep it because it is extremly Rare.

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!

Summary: ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS I HATED CHILDHOOD
Review: The doll is going to eat me....the doll is going to eat me. As if suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as a child wasn't bad enough, my father had to record this movie on the good 'ol VCR with the "wire remote", and show it to the whole family the next day. Little did I know that the story at the end of the movie would cause me to suffer horrific nightmares for months ahead. Now I can watch the movie and laugh about it, but as an impressionable child, this movie was horrifically appalling. 4 and a half stars.

Summary: Scared me shi*less!!
Review: I saw this movie in the 70's and my brother Johnny and I were traumatized for decades! It was SO funny to see it as adults and see how funny it was, yet still scary! This movie is one that we always had in the back of our minds. When we were kids and saw the movie for the first time, our mom and dad went out for a few hrs and I was babysitting my two younger brothers. After seeing the movie my brothers and I were scared and I'd run up and down the stairs away from them and they'd run after me thinking the voodoo doll was after them. At one point the three of us even jumped up on the kitchen table to escape a possible voodoo doll chasing us. Later, I hid around the corner of a hallway in the dark and threw a teddy bear at my brother who was coming out of the bathroom while my youngest brother David waited crouching in the hallway under a blanket waiting to jump up and scare our brother Johnny and needless to say, Johnny ran screaming and crying down the stairs. David and I got in a little bit of trouble when our parents came home! My brother Johnny thought the teddy bear was the voodoo doll attacking him!! ha ha ha!!!

Summary: What's YOUR Zuni Fetish?
Review: This is truely a cult classic in my household. Many adults remember seeing it on TV, having the third story scare the daylights out of them and making them eternally afraid of dolls or...weird naked african natives with sharp teeth. Anyway, this movie is divided into three stories, hence the title. The first two are the ones that everyone dismisses, and rightfully so. They're no more horrifying than a thriller on Lifetime. I would advise you to still watch them, just to get in 70s horror-schlock mode before the third story comes up.
And what is the third story, you ask? It's about a woman who gets a hideous-looking Zuni Fetish Doll for her boyfriend, unknowing that if its necklace is removed, the doll will come to life and go on its hunt. It is truely creepy. Watch to the very end of the story. THAT freaked me out.

Summary: Oh, the TEETH on that doll !!
Review: Halloweentime, time to recommend my fave horror movies. This is a great movie for teens as well as adults (i wouldn't recommend it for little tots). Very creepy, wicked doll. Makes "Chucky" look like Scooby Doo. Would be a lot of fun to see with a lot of people.

Summary: Scores a 4 based on the third story only!
Review: Trilogy of Terror was a made for TV movie way back in the 1970's, when there was no such thing as cable television. For those of us who were kids back then, we had maybe five or six choices on television.
From other reviews of this film, there were lots of us who were glued to the television for this "teleplay" starring Karen Black. It must have had some great promotion commercials...either that or we just didn't have anything else to do.
Designed as a trilogy, the film's first two stories are tedious bits of regurgitated storytelling. I won't bother reviewing them. It is the third and final story - Amelia - that is frightening as it can be - at least to a child (now remember, we didn't have all these gory and scary movies available to us - the VCR wouldn't be produced for several more years) that broke ground not ever covered before. It was the third story that scared me to death!
When you watch this film - and you really should watch all three stories, if for no other reason than to see how they originally played out - do so remembering how the world was when it was originally made. We were a bit more innocent and we didn't have all the special effects available to us. There was no Showtime or HBO and there certainly was no internet.
If you watch this with a 12 or 13 year old who isn't completely jaded yet, you'll have a lot of fun watching them jump out of their skin!

Summary: Available elsewhere
Review: Great movie. Scared me as a child in the '70s and would recomend to anyone who has an appreciation for B Horror movies.
As far as it selling here for $99.00 and $399.00 ... PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! A quick search for this item revealed countless reliable sites that sell it for $18.95 - $19.95.
Why anyone would spend any more than that is beyond me.

Summary: I recommend this movie...
Review: Okay, well, I haven't seen this movie since I was 8 or 9, possibly 10, I'm 16 now, and I've been looking for so long for a video with the little skeleton guy that scared me for years. I had nightmares about this movie from the night I saw it until I was 12. I had a different nightmare each time. And I watched alot of horror movies as a kid, so this must of been a good movie for it to scare me that much. I've been searching for it and I haven't seen it yet but I am going to for sure. I reccomend this movie, trust me, if it scared me for that long, it has to be worth it.
