Tourist Trap (1979)

Director: David Schmoeller
Starring: Chuck Connors, Tanya Roberts

Synopsis:
A group of friends break down near a roadside museum ran by an old man. Also on the property is a killer with telekinetic powers and an artists skill for making mannequins.

My Take:
It's kind of a whacky premise and it kind of works. Plus you get screen legend Chuck Connors chewing up scenes. Surprisingly the movie holds up fairly well for being made in 1979.

Rating: In the Middle (contains a unique flair)
