    Just plain stupid.

    The old TV anthology series "Thriller" was, like many anthology shows, highly uneven. At first I thought all the shows were average or below average, but recently I've seen some really good ones....just NOT "The Terror in Teakwood". I'd consider this among the worst...and I can only assume you'll feel the same if you watch it.

    The story is about a concert pianist who is obsessed with playing a piece of music considered impossible for anyone but the HUGE handed writer to play. But the guy who wrote the music is dead...and the pianist breaks into the corpse's grave. Why? See it....if you care...frankly, I wouldn't. The ending is just stupid and ruins the long wait. The only reason I gave the show a 2 is that some of the music is nice. Otherwise...yuck!! Slow, talky and VERY dumb over all.
