Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
azathothpwiggins WEEKEND OF TERROR is about a pair of kidnappers named Eddie and Larry (Robert Conrad and Lee Majors). After botching their abduction -Eddie's a bit homicidal- the two scramble for a way to get the ransom money, even though their abductee is dead! Their solution? Why, grab a trio of nuns (Jane Wyatt, Carol Lynley, and Lois Nettleton) of course! The brilliant plan is to pawn one of them off as their former victim. While this may sound like the setup for a screwball comedy, it's actually a made-for-TV suspense thriller. As such, it's not a bad movie. This is mostly due to the "decent crook" / "crazy, eeevil crook" dynamic, between the two assailants. Majors plays his role as the more sedate Larry w/ laid-back ease, and Conrad's Eddie is dangerous, always about an inch away from his next maniacal rampage! A little more worldly than her Sisters, Ellen (Nettleton) benefits from her less naive nature. Can she use this against these men, before it's too late? A flashback to a time when movies like this seemed to be on every night! A fun way to spend an evening. Watch for Gregory Sierra in an early role as a cop...
ivegonemod I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie. Usually I don't like the really really old TV movies, just the really old ones, LOL. The movie has a pretty decent pace, and the acting is good. Lots of well known actors in here. I thought Carol Lynley was kind of spaced out, but then she seemed spaced out in most of her 1970's films. Jane Wyatt really didn't seem to have much of a role. The only thing that really bothered me was that STUPID wig! That wig looked nothing like the Louise's hair, it was two totally different colors! When the guy sends the nun into the wig shop with a piece of hair to match up, you can see that it is so light it is hardly even brown. Louise's hair was chocolate brown. How hard was it to make the nun get a really dark brown wig?
tvmovielady48 Weekend Of Terror is another fun made for television movie of the early decade of the 1970s.I love this movie.I just watched this movie a couple of nights ago again.I love the made for television movies of the 1970s and late 1960s and some from the 1980s.This particular movie has a terrific cast. Carol Lynley, Robert Conrad,Anjanette Comer and on and on.I saw this movie for the first time when I was around 12 twelve or thirteen years old.I remember that I watched as many of these movies as possible with my parents. The one that I remember watching first was Dr. Cook's Garden with Bing Crosby.If you like tales that are cheesy and just plain fun then you will like Weekend Of Terror.I have this movie.
Dave Rowland I taped this movie years ago & I thought that it was a pretty lame movie. But there were some really funny parts in it that were not meant to be funny. Lee Majors was cast as "Larry" a few years before his really big role as "Steve Austin" in "The Six Million Dollar Man". And Robert Conrad plays "Eddie" the main bad guy out of the two. The part that is really funny is the line that "Larry" says to "Eddie".I quote: "Eddie! What are trying to do! Are you on something that I don't know about? Acid! Speed! Something?"The line is a classic! If you ever get a chance to see this movie, keep it on until you get to hear "Larry" say that line. It's priceless! If I ever have the chance of meeting Lee Majors someday, I would ask him if he was on something that we didn't know about, after making this partly funny clunker...
