7/10
Gory, sexy, stylish, but also draggy.
10 July 2009
Story revolves around this news anchor chick who goes all brave when she sees this whacky video tape of people dying, including herself. Instead of running for the hills, she runs to the scene where all this murderin' is going down. She brings along a ragtag group of co-workers with her, who of course will be loads of help.

Well, the murderer is lurking there, and it now appears everyone is trapped, and yep, you guessed it, everybody starts dropping like flies. Why all the mystery? Who is this mysterious and bizarre man walking around with the gun? Who is the murderer? Why is it that cute Asian girls' nipples are so incredibly sensitive? You'll find out this and loads more in Evil Dead Trap, the deadliest trap of pure evil you'll ever witness.

By now you've probably read a couple others comments on the flick and almost all have similar things to say. Especially on how it resembles an Argento flick. It really does! And surprisingly it does it just as well. The music, atmosphere and deaths are all great. But like many Italian horror/mystery flicks, the movie also gets tedious. There were plenty of scenes that seriously need to be trimmed down. Honestly, this film could have easily been 15-20 minutes shorter and still could have kept all the good stuff. And also, this movie, would NEVER end. I did however enjoy the bizarre antics that erupted into our laps in the finale, but holy hell, at least speed up the action or cut one of those endings outta there. Just f@ckin end already!

Besides those issues, I found Evil Dead Trap to be a stylish, well-made horror flick that delivered some nice grue and some nice scenes of sexiness. It's just a damn shame the flick dragged so much. But whatever, if you have a love for Italian flicks like Suspiria and also have a yearning for Asian horror, this is a must see for your ass. 6.5 outta 10 rounded up!
