Editorial Review:
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
Tower of Terror Reviews:
Disney's Tower of Terror 
2009-11-20 - We purchased this movie for a Halloween "Family" movie night which had kids of all ages. It had a good story & actors and it wasn't to scary for the real young children. I would recommend it especially for youngsters.
Fun and Suspense for Family Enjoyment--Especially Disney Studio's Fans
2009-09-03 - Cute movie with some light suspense and plenty of humor; great enjoyment for the family who visits and likes the Disney Studio's theme park ride "Tower of Terror"; looks like much of the movie was shot using the Disney property Hollywood Tower Hotel (you'll recognize the setting in many of the shots). A fun movie to watch with the kids!
tower of terror, fun 
2009-07-12 - Tower of Terror is a nice, clean film for families to watch. Sort of like a roller coaster, a little scary but still fun
magical!
2009-06-13 - I taped this off the tv when i was a kid and I adored it! watched it so many times! ( well you know, as children do ), but one day my dad took the tape away and i asked for it back and he told me he needed it to record over. I was so distraught! then how many years later ... i'm looking around for that movie that I always liked to watch and there it was! I didn't even remember it so it was all new to me! spooky and yet touching... like ghost whisperer. magical!
Loved it!
2009-05-30 - Eventhough it's a 20 year old movie, it rocks. I found it to be very entertaining. Disney scores again!
