Thinking it would be fun to spend the night in the campy "Funhouse" horror ride, the teens witness a murder by a deformed worker wearing a mask. Locked in, Amy and her friends must evade the murderous carnival workers and escape before it leaves town the next day.

Full Review Page

For a movie that sells itself on being about escaping a funhouse, I'm kind of pissed that that section of the movie is only the last 25-or-so minutes. The rest is terribly acted bumbling around in a fair/circus. For the most part, The Funhouse is no fun; it's very boring and we don't even get any fun kills and the effects are awful. I guess it was shot okay, but there is nothing else positive worth noting. It's incredibly forgettable and deserves to be forgotten.
