Claudio Carvalho The suburban real estate agent Bob Carter (John Ritter) is driving the newlywed Allen Doyle (David DeLuise) and his wife Mary Ann Doyle (Allison Smith) through a suburban area expecting to sell a house to them. While showing the houses, his clients asks for full disclosure about each house and Carter is forced to tell the frightful truth about each house. In the end, Mary Ann knows the neighborhood. "Terror Tract" is an excellent horror film with a lead storyline and three segments. "Nightmare", "Bobo" and come to Granny" are highly entertaining and the lead segment "Make Me an Offer" has a surprising and hilarious conclusion. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Terror Tract" ("The House of the Terror Tract")

GL84 Going out looking for house, a real-estate agent shows newlyweds three different properties and shares each of their gruesome histories with them. With each failed story, they realize there is a reason why he's intent to close a sale.The Good Stor(ies): Nightmare-Returning home early, a husband finds his wife having an affair and confronts them about it, attempting to put an end to it by setting it up like they killed each other. When the plan goes awry and he becomes the victim, they conspire to get rid of him so they can live together. Thinking they have gotten away with it, they try to carry on, only to be confronted by something from the past that's not intent on letting their deeds go unpunished. This here is a fun entry that definitely opens the film the right way. It's incredibly predictable and the conclusion can be guessed less than a minute into it, but it's still really good. The nightmares provide some nice suspense, especially the soggy, plodding footsteps and the howling wind giving some old-school touches to the proceedings. The dive underwater is simply fantastic, offering up a couple great scare tactics and a great setting to go along. It's even got a great brawling scene that comes of rather well, and despite being a little overlong, it still leaves a good feeling afterward.Come to Granny-Consumed with guilt, a young man offers to see a psychiatrist about a mysterious killer known as the Granny Killer, which has been plaguing the area. Convinced he might be the killer as he's been having flashes before each kill, and as he continues his story, she starts to suspect there's something to his story. This was a quite enjoyable entry, as it's a simple slasher story that really does its job well. The kills are great if a little too much off-screen, which is the main problem as they really shouldn't have been. With several violent hacked-up, a complete dismemberment and a vicious stabbing, none of it was shown but heavily implied, when it didn't need to be. The rest is good, with the stalking being rather fun with some great points in them that make for a lot of fun. It even has a really great mystery, being completely unsure if it's a recollection of his or just receiving psychic flashes, handling them well enough for its short running time and being rather nice about it. There's also a lot to like about the twist which plays well with the storyline as well, and the villain also sports a really wicked-looking granny mask that is quite terrifying, and the puns at the kills are clever and funny. This was just an all-around good segment.The Bad Stor(ies): Bobo-Waking up one morning, a couple find their daughter concerned over a monkey she found in the backyard. As time goes on, she gets more and more attached to it which makes him all the more against keeping it, eventually getting to the point of outright hatred. Convinced its evil, he tries whatever he can to get rid of it, which it fights back with equal ferocity. There wasn't a whole lot of good stuff here. The only one is the one good kill, seeing a victim propped up against a wall with a dozen knives sticking out of their chest. It's a great visual and the only good thing here, as the rest of the segment consists of him running around trying to kill it for no reason. Later versions aren't bad, but an explanation for the initial rejection beyond just a parent's word would've been great to add a little more weight. It even skips over a built-in clause for this, in that it's a wild animal with potential deadly diseases and he needs to protect his family's safety, which is perfectly acceptable and made a ton of sense. That leaves the attacks to rely on their brutality, but are so lazily edited or so tame they lose a lot of their impact. Add into that a completely non-threatening monkey villain and this one just doesn't have much going on and as such drags the whole film down.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity, minor animal violence and a mild sex scene.

Lawrence Griffin Ah, Terror Tract. I had seen this movie about a year ago and enjoyed it a lot. It's three horror stories, each about 35-40 minutes each, compiled into one movie. They tie it all together with a story about a real estate officer who desperately, DESPERATELY needs to sell homes to a newlywed couple, and ends up telling them the stories behind each house. The first story, "Nightmare", is a love triangle story that involves a murdered husband coming back from the dead to kill his wife. The second story, "Bobo", is about a pet monkey that has some sinister tricks up it's sleeve. The third story 'Come to Granny' is the real gold nugget in this piece, the shining work of the film. And the ending is a good exercise in chaotic insanity that will leave a bewildered smile on your face as the credits roll in."Nightmare" is a solid little story, but not overly memorable, and could've been omitted for a better one, or just to elongate the duration of "Come to Granny." This story felt way too long and was rather boring in some parts, although the ending was nice and the murder scene at the beginning was well executed (heh...pun...). Bad acting all around though. "Bobo" has good acting by Bryan Cranston as Ron, the father, and is rather humorous and ridiculous. It was a step up from the bland "Nightmare", but still not world class and could not stand on it's own as a real movie.Then we reach the high point of our little anthology, "Come to Granny." It's the story of a troubled, dark young man who comes into the office of a psychiatrist late in the evening, and begins to tell the tale of how he sees the murders of 'The Granny Killer', a brutal psychopath who wears a mask resembling an old woman, and how his life was ruined because of it. This one packs very good hack-n-slash kills and an excellent and creepy ending. We have a good acting performance by Will Estes as Sean, and if I can say, Shonda Farr looks very nice as Jasmine, too. This one would be very good as a B slasher/horror flick, and I'd definitely pick it up on it's own. Worth the rental of the entire anthology by itself.The ending of the film itself, like I stated above, is a good little burst of chaos and blood and gore, and pretty funny. John Ritter's performance was adequate and he did a great job. Overall, worth a rental for even casual horror fans, if you're looking for something interesting. This also comes with Cherry Falls in some sort of double feature type thing, and that movie is my personal favorite of the two.

preppy-3 Real estate man John Ritter shows three houses to a young couple (David Deluise, Allison Smith). Each one has a horrible story attached to it which Ritter tells the couple."Nightmare" is a predictable story about a love triangle and murder. There are too many false scares but it's fairly well-done. "Bobo" is a real stupid tale of a killer monkey. Dumb, illogical, silly but Bryan Cranston gives a good performance despite the script. "Come to Granny" is a winner. A teenage boy (Will Estes) sees killings before they're about to happen at the hands of the Granny Killer--a killer who wears a disgusting old womans mask while killing women. The mask itself is scary and the murder scenes are violent, bloody and extremely well-done. Also Estes makes for a very sympathetic protagonist (and has a surprising shower scene). The final wrap up of the framing story is also bloody, funny and really good.All in all, it's much better than I expected. It's worth seeing for the bits involving Ritter (who's very good) and the final story.
