Tourist Trap
Directed by David Schmoeller
Five friends are hunted by a creepy killer after stopping to visit a roadside museum in this slasher that counts Stephen King as one of its biggest fans. After car trouble, the gang goes to visit a creepy museum filled with eerie mannequins which may be alive. Director David Schmoeller's debut bares the mark of his teachers - surreal and shock-loving directors Luis Bunuel (UN CHIEN ANDALOU) and Alejandro Jodorowsky (SANTA SANGRE). Ten years later, Schmoeller would create and direct the cult horror series PUPPETMASTER, which also deals with deadly dolls.

This is honestly such a sleeper hit. Why am I only just now finding this movie? The entire concept is pretty unique and executed very well, better than your usual slasher in my book
If you get freaked out by mannequins, this will do it for you. Hopefully, Shudder will carry more of Schmoeller's work (would love to see Crawlspace on here!).
wow got off my late shift and wanted to watch something on my list. some aspects of the film had me giggling before shutting up really quick to be creeped out- fun watch!
See why Stephen King likes it...no spoilers. I really liked it, stick with it through the kinda goofy and then boring beginning. Gets better as it goes. Genuinely menacing
So 70's, dark and creepy.
