Terror Tract (2000)
|
Bob is trying to sell a house to the last couple of the day. And to do so he must disclose all of the horror stories which accompany each house he shows. He knows these sales won't be easy. And his career may be on the line.
1st House: Louis and Sarah are an unhappily married couple. Louis leaves for a business trip and her boyfriend Frank visits. But Louis hasn't completely left and wishes to kill both of them in revenge for their cheating ways. Frank gets the upper-hand and disposes of Louis but not before Sarah starts to have weird dreams and weirder realities and she learns one powerful lesson: the dead never forget. 2nd House: Ron is a loving dad who doesn't approve of his girl's new friend: a monkey which has escaped form its original owner. Once the family dog dies, Ron is determined to do all he can to get rid of the monkey but not before his daughter is willing to do anything to stop him. 3rd House: Sean is having flashes of things that have not yet happened. The city is being terrorized by a killer with a granny mask, and Sean sees the killings before they happen. But know he has to warn the next victim - problem is, it might be him. Overall: I really enjoyed this film. Basically the entire film is just copying other films but I like the way it did it. The 1st story is pretty much the episode from "Creepshow" involving Leslie Nielsen who punishes his wife for her affair - same ending, different characters. The 2nd story is essentially "Of Unknown Origin" - obsession between a man and an animal in his house. 3rd story is a copy of "Final Destination" - a boy who sees things and tries to prevent them. And the whole real estate story involving the wonderful John Ritter is a copy of the "Cat's Eye" story involving Alan King and the smoking clinic. All 4 are obviously not unique but at the same time are tactfully done and very compact. Enjoy this one. |
