Trilogy of Terror is an anthology horror film released in 1975, consisting of three short stories directed by Dan Curtis and starring Karen Black in all three segments.
The first story, "Julie", follows a meek college student who is terrorized by her overbearing mother and finds solace in a vintage Zuni fetish doll. However, when the doll's chain breaks off, it comes to life and begins attacking her relentlessly.
The second story, "Millicent and Therese", showcases Black in a dual role as twin sisters Millicent and Therese, whose bitter rivalry takes a deadly turn after they attempt to perform a voodoo curse on each other.
The third and most famous segment, "Amelia," centers around a woman who receives a Zuni fetish doll as a gift from her mother. The doll, which is said to contain the spirit of a Zuni warrior, comes to life and goes on a rampage throughout her apartment, attacking her with a tiny spear and trying to kill her. In a tense and terrifying sequence, Amelia is forced to fight for her life against the relentless and seemingly unstoppable doll.
Trilogy of Terror is known for its iconic finale, which features Karen Black battling the malevolent Zuni fetish doll in a small apartment, ending with a shocking twist. The film has become a cult classic in the horror genre and is celebrated for its effective use of suspense and terror.
