Title: what was that 80s film? Post by: genstm1980 on January 18, 2010, 04:59:42 AM Hi can anyone please help me cos this has been driving me mad -
I had a film on vhs from late 80s, maybe early 90s though don't think it was that recent. It was about a young man being bullied by a gang so he gets his revenge by rigging up an old house with illusions and tricks to scare them (think his uncle may have been a magician). The only other bits I remember are: - at one point he's holding a pencil between his fingers and shaking it so it looks wobbly! - the gang may have gatecrashed a party of some sort - his (uncle?) tells him "don't get angry, get even" - when inside the rigged house, the leader of the gang looks in a mirror and his face looks scarred/disfigured. Hope someone can put me out of my misery!! :twirl: Title: Re: what was that 80s film? Post by: Shadow on January 18, 2010, 05:59:28 PM It may be The New Kids from 1985.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089679/ Two orphaned teens go to live with their uncle, who owns an old carnival. They get terrorized by a local gang and at one point they get even in the way you describe. Title: Re: what was that 80s film?
