Terror Trips

A bunch of horror nerds travel to some small town in Europe to research a horror movie...and foreigners are strange and evil. The plot is basically like Hostel and the movie is excruciating, total garbage.

By first glance I have to say that "Terror Trips" wasn't really off to an impressive start. Why? Well, because the movie's title was such a blatant rip off of the logo used in "Stranger Things". But still, I opted to watch what writer and director Jeff Seemann had to offer.

And even the movie's title intro was a rip off of the "Stranger Things" intro. Talk about being unoriginal and tacky.

The storyline in "Terror Trips" was adequate. It wasn't a spectacular or outstanding storyline, but writer Jeff Seemann had managed to cram in some interesting enough things here and there. But overall, then "Terror Trips" was a mediocre and somewhat mundane horror movie. The storyline offered nothing new to the genre, yet I managed to sit through the entire ordeal to the very end.

As for the acting in "Terror Trips", well first of all I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble here. Some of the actresses and actors did actually okay jobs, while others put on rather wooden and rigid performances. So you are in for quite a mixed bag of experiences here.

The special effects in "Terror Trips" were adequate. Now, it wasn't grand scale special effects, but they served their purposes well enough. The gun shot scenes were toe-curling bad to witness though.

All in all, then "Terror Trips" is not really an impressive horror movie. And if you are a fan of the horror genre, then I guess you might find a bit of enjoyment here and there throughout the course of the movie. But this is not a horror movie that I would recommend for fans of the horror genre to rush out and get to watch.

My rating of "Terror Trips" lands on a four out of ten stars.

If you have absolutely nothing better to do, doing nothing would be better than spending any time watching this. The only thing this movie does well is get worse with every scene. The last fifteen minutes will make you wonder why you just didn't walk away when you had a chance.

Horror films are big. It seems that a majority of people love being frightened out of their wits and so many of them become classic, late night showings. This film has a great premise. It's a business involving horror aficionados, of course, who lead guided tours to the locations of some of the most popular horror films ever filmed. Obviously, research is involved. I mean what could go wrong? Am I right? Well...just wait. This little group sets off to Europe to investigate the scene of a maybe true story filmed many years before. Without giving away the plot, suffice to say there are unusual circumstances that arise that send our little group hither and yon searching for answers. Will they be successful? Will they survive? You will have to watch to find out.

This movie starts out bad and just gets worse. The whole thing from the word go is pretty boring! Some of the acting was decent and the people who weren't stick out easily. Make better use of your time than this movie.
