I was really surprised and impressed by Karen Black in this movie, she plays all the main characters in the movie perfectly, it's very cool. The first two stories are a bit predictable, but fun. The last one is unpredictable and exciting. I really enjoyed this movie, it's a gr... read more

The first two stories are fine but the justly famous final one is enough to make you jumpy for days after.

Three Twilight Zone-esc anthology stories are told, all gloriously starring the fabulously underrated Karen Black and all containing a twist ending. The final sequence is the most famous (and entertaining) about a possessed doll that runs amok in Blacks apartment and tries to ki... read more

"Trilogy of Terror" is three short stories, excellent stared by the same actress, ¨Karen Black¨ and the movie itself is definitely well done and the segments are good enough, although somewhat lacking in suspense but really worth watching.

Out of the three movies, the last was the best one with the Voodoo doll! That little thing was the creepiest monster I've ever seen when I was a kid, and even watching this movie in mid day time still scared me. It was pretty awesome and to this day, it still creeps me out. ;)

I've never seen the actress Karen Black until this film. All I have to say is WOW she is a GOOD actress. ALL threes stories were VERY ENTERTAINING AND INTERESTING. I would see another movie that she is in. BRILLIANT!

Gave this a re-watch as part of my normal Halloween marathon, was surprised to realize how much the last story (the Zuni Fetish doll) over-shadows the rest of the film, honestly to the point that the other two tales felt almost new to me.
The first two stories aren't bad, though... read more -

Psychological horror in first two stories, last short is some amazing often suspenseful stuff. LMAO.
Critic Reviews
By the time the Zuni fetish doll bursts onto the screen and worms its way into your nightmares (or your heart), you'll be fully convinced that you've seen at least one-third of a genre classic. Full Review
Demonic doll doling out death? Delightful! Full Review
Love that Karen Black and her little witch doctor! Ouch!
The third segment in this trilogy is arguably the scariest piece ever crafted under the made-for-TV label
Scared many a mom
