What critics compared Tourist Trap to
Just as Marcus Nispel reworked Tobe Hopper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the MTV generation, Serra similarly tricks-out André de Toth's 1953 classic (it's doubtful he's seen Michael Curtiz's 1933 film Mystery of the Wax Museum), except the film more accurately brings to mind the groove of David Schmoeller's underrated 1979 chiller Tourist Trap, in which a bunch of teenagers stumble upon a mannequin museum operated by two brothers, one a mysteriously-masked freakazoid.
