TerrorVision (1988–1989) User Reviews

Odd horror anthology obscurity but I have seen worse, there's at least one gem in the middle of a bunch of low budget nonsense.

I recently watched all of these, or this, on youtube and they're not terrible for what they are, there's a nice variety of ideas and some of the effects aren't bad like the closet monster in the first episode/segment. But overall though there's just not enough 'meat' on the bones of these tiny tales of terror for them to be all that interesting much less frightening, not that they don't have a little entertainment value in them in their cheap quaint old timey way. I find it a bit confusing as to whether this was intended as a pitch for an anthology show or if it was an actual low budget anthology TV movie because the stories are too short to make up a proper episode but they are just the right size for a movie, it barely seems to exist whatever it is but it is available to watch on the interwebs for the moment. It's really only an appetiser though, for the main course I'd recommend you check out the Tales From the Darkside TV series, it's about on the same level of effects and acting. As it is, it's worth a watch if you're into the anthology subgenre, just make sure you go into this one with zero expectations. Thank you, I wish you unpleasant screams! X
