Product Description: Kirsten Dunst stars as plucky teen niece to Steve Guttenberg in this 1997 telefilm that sets out to provide background for one of Disney/MGM Studios' popular thrill-rides, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Guttenberg plays Buzzy, a down-on-his-luck former journalist relegated to concocting stories for a Weekly World News-inspired tabloid. When an elderly woman approaches Buzzy with a compelling ghost story, he's persuaded to investigate. Dunst is Anna, who joins Buzzy in his search to find out the truth about the mysterious 1939 disappearance of five people--including a Shirley Temple-like child star--at the eerily abandoned Hollywood Tower Hotel. There are some scary segments, which may truly frighten sensitive younger viewers. Still, for older kids and adult viewers, Dunst's presence and a fairly fun story makes this an engaging film. (Ages 8 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

Customer Reviews
Tower of Terror
Tower of Terror is a great purchase. For the avid Disney Fan who has been on the ride. I believe this is a neat little movie.

"I want to go to Disneyland now"
After watching this wonderful movie, I want to go to Disneyland to ride the Tower of Terror ride. My son just went and called me while he was on the ride. I was so jealous. This movie is great. Especially the big band feel of it. Love that era. Actors were great and I was in suspense till the end. Buy this movie!

Great Family Fun!
If you are planning a trip to MGM this movie is must! It is just like the ride. My daughter and I went to MGM at Christmas and the TOT was her favorite ride. She missed it so much I bought her the movie as a rememberence. GOOD TIMES!

Fun movie!
This is a TV movie that looks like a Disney upper tier afterschool special. There are obvious commercial breaks that should have been edited out. It's a little campy in spots, but with a little more polish, it could have been released in the theaters. The plot is good, with a twist you will see coming only if you are looking for it. Guttenberg and Dunst stand out, and Melora Hardin is so good I wonder why I haven't seen her in other films. The music is great - especially the big band scenes. The opening shots have fantastic camera work to give the scenes a touch of spookiness and unease without overdoing it. The special effects are upper end TV special effects; okay, but not great. Overall, the film is simple, feel good, family entertainment. However, this film may not be for you if you do not enjoy fantasy with a touch of the supernatural (Harry Potter, X-files, Lord of the Rings, etc).

Tower of Terror?
This movie isn't any where near as good as the ride of the same name at Disney in LA. I can only hope that Disney made the movie about the ride and not the ride about the movie, otherwise the ride would of been very boring!!
If you want thrills, I suggest that you go visit the ride at Disney LA
