Over the top Japanese Horror, 25 February 2002
Author: gardner-3 (gard71@hotmail.com) from chicago

Evil Dead Trap raised the bar for horror films. The film is full of sick and twisted images. Some scary others insane. The eye popping scene is beyond words. I wish all horror films were on this level. But alas Exorcist and Omen are the norm and very boring. The other reviewer said he had to laugh at the ending. Some people laugh when they are scared. I say he couldn't handle evil dead trap. This movie may be a bit depraved but the best horror is. What I can't stand is big budget horror that doesn't pay off. People can learn something from the masters of horror... the Japanese and the Italians. Films like Blood and Black Lace, Deep Red Hatchet Murders, Demons, Entrails of a Virgin, Evil Dead Trap should be looked at as textbook horror by modern film makers.
