Turnaround

About This Movie

Turnaround is this curious little thriller from 1987 that blends magic and revenge in a rather unique way. The story revolves around a magician's grandson, his girlfriend, and their friends who find themselves up against a ruthless bike gang led by her ex. What really sets this film apart is how they utilize the grandfather's house and props from the family magic business to seek vengeance. The atmosphere has a gritty feel, kind of reminiscent of those late-night cable movies. Sure, the performances might not win any awards, but there's something oddly charming about their resourcefulness. The pacing keeps you engaged, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of authenticity to their schemes. It's a bit rough around the edges, but that's part of its charm, really.

Interesting mix of magic elements and revenge plot.Has a gritty, late-night movie vibe.Practical effects bring a certain authenticity.
