I bought this movie based off of a list I was reading on IMDB that said it was in the same vein as dark crystal and labyrinth. I had never heard of it and after reading reviews it seemed like a trippy movie. It did not disappoint as far as being an original idea and having some cool scenes but in my opinion it was nowhere near labyrinth/dark crystal or any Jim Henson movie for that matter. If you are looking for a movie that has that awesome 80's puppetry or cool monster/animatronics Paperhouse is NOT your movie. Buy Paperhouse for a rainy day when you are hung over and want to watch something that's better than the chic flick they are playing on TV.
Paperhouse has so many elements in it. It is suspensful and sometimes chilling. It also has sweet and heartwarming moments. I love the "other worldly" feel in many of the scenes. I bought it after seeing a preview of it on another VHS tape. I think it will entertain a broad audience.
Works great 👍

I bought this movie because my sister and I watched it when we were kids. We watched it often on TV, and she recently reminded me of a scene that always amused us. I thought I would get it for her for Christmas, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It seems it's out of print. Ebay saved the day. It arrived and not only did it play well, but it had tons of 80's movie previews that were hilarious. I only wish I could have gotten a DVD. It's easy enough to convert, I'm told.
