Toshiharu Ikeda's "Evil Dead Trap" was really popular in Japan,spawning at least two sequels.Nami(Miyuki Ono),a late night TV show host,receives a strange tape.It shows the brutal murder of a young Japanese woman.Nami launches her own investigation,taking four of her crew to an abandoned Army base.However somebody,or possibly something is waiting for them..."Evil Dead Trap" is obviously influenced by the works of Dario Argento,Lucio Fulci,Sam Raimi and David Cronenberg.It has even Goblinesque soundtrack which reminds me Argento's "Suspiria".Still the film has some wonderful surprises-it's atmospheric and very gory.The death scenes are pretty graphic and gruesome,so gorehounds won't be disappointed.I really liked the use of booby traps to kill some of the victims.The ending is also very surprising.All in all I enjoyed this film and you should too,if you're a fan of Japanese extreme horror!
