Tower of Terror 1997   TV, 89 min.
Genre: Family
Director: D.J. MacHale
Cast: Steve Guttenberg, Nia Peeples, Michael McShane, Amzie Strickland, Melora Hardin, Alastair Duncan, Lindsay Ridgeway, John Franklin, Wendy Worthington, Kirsten Dunst
This Disney production is based on its Disneyworld ride by the same name. There's a mystery behind the old hotel where five people disappeared in the 1930s', and reporter Buzzy Crocker (Steve Guttenberg) is out to uncover what happened. There are plenty of twists and turns (and "startles") to keep your attention. Not great, but could be fun for the older youths.
