Terror At Tenkiller (1988) - 4K Restoration Special Edition from VCI Entertainment, 10/25/2022.


Edit. Aaargh, how do you make changes to headline??? VCI went wrong as you can see. I don't know how to change that.

I wish CVI was working on this. Even a nonexistent label is better than VCI.

[agenda]

Hahaha! Can't deny that, no matter how much I try, but better VCI than no company at all. Saw the movie last time from VHS.

I trust you more than I trust VCI.

Slasher fans: Arrow's been releasing the most boring, dull slashers from the 80's this year!

VCI: Hold my beer.

As a slasher completist, keep em coming honestly

Looks like a decent DTV slasher. This says the film received a 4K restoration but why am I expecting the final product to look like that Youtube video?

[Rayjg]

4K transfer of VCI owner’s VHS copy, sad to say.

[DaveyJoe]

Please don't screw this up, VCI.

The hot tub scene was filmed in a house in my old neighborhood - which is nowhere near Lake Tenkiller.

This film gets almost universal disdain, but I've always thoroughly enjoyed it. The rural Oklahoma flavor is a big bonus.

They always do, so it's fitting.

I’ve always liked it too. There are far worse slashers out there, look no further than its “Scream Theater” DVD co-feature The Last Slumber Party, for example. Although that film isn’t without its own hallucinogenic, Z-grade charms.

Absolutely!

And I would throw down cash for a restored (as much as it can be) version of the cinematic equivalent of overdosing on Zyrtec known as The Last Slumber Party also.

[DaveyJoe]

I'd buy The Last Slumber Party as well. Was that one shot on film?

[levcore]

This is an OK slasher but it's one where

[Show spoiler]you can see the killer's face throughout and you know who it is the whole time, which is never my favourite thing when it comes to slashers. Movies like this, whilst still being slashers, feel to me more like psycho stalker/ killer movies.

Most of it was. After shooting wrapped, the crew went back a few months later to film three different endings. The film stock was a different kind which explains the change in picture quality. Later, the distributors shot and inserted material that was SOV like the close up of the clock.

[Leslie Dame]

It's pretty bad but I find Terror at Tenkiller more enjoyable than Girls Nite Out or Final Exam.

Corny drama, snail pacing, casio soundtrack and filmed-in-a-backyard vibes, but the cheese is charming.

I have heard this one referred to and discussed on the Hysteria Continues podcast several times. It sounds like a real hoot. I almost ordered the DVD (double-feature with The Last Slumber Party out of curiosity awhile back, but ended not doing it because the prices were too high. I'm glad I waited.
