Customer Reviews of Evil Dead Trap
Injury to the Eye Motif I cannot claim to be an expert on Horror films, and although I know the name, I have never seen "Suspira" or many of the other oft-referenced flicks featured in other reviews. That being so, this review may be helpful from the viewpoint of a casual viewer, and is hopefully taken as such.
I watched "Evil Dead Trap" on a whim, hoping to see a Japanese horror flick around Halloween time. I must confess, I wasn't prepared for the sheer brutality of some of the scenes, including the aforementioned injury to the eye motif. Not quite a slasher film and not quite a psychological horror film, there are elements of both. Something along the lines of "Silence of the Lambs" combined with the gore and violence of a "Friday the 13th" movie.
The opening half is definitely superior for to the second, with the brutal videotapes captivating my attention, as well as that of Nami. However, the more the movie tries to explore the connection between the killer and Nami, the more obscure the plot gets, and the more difficult it is to stay interested.
All in all, it is not a bad film, but not a very good one either. The high level of explicit gore might be a barrier to casual horror film watchers, and the dense plot might be a barrier to those hoping for a good slashing. I don't think I will watch it again, but it was interesting to watch once.
Getting Better
This movie is better than VERSUS or BATTLE ROYALE. It is a bit bizzare but it has a certain quality. And the BEST eye gouge seen since ZOMBIE. I liked this movie but you may not, Again, THIS IS ONE MANS OPINION> YOU BE THE JUDGE.
Tokio goes Argento
It will only make sense if you're a gorehound... (like me). Stealing "to much" from Argento stylistic surrealism, Japanesse director Toshiharu Ikeda fails to deliver an asian Suspiria in every level.The films starts out very promising and begins to fade out into a senseless vortex of un-control subplots that leads to nowhere...the ending really makes no sense!...but this does not make the movie less entertaining...is just that it doen't make any sense. Now, what you do get is some very gruesome gore scenes of disturbing carnage, a very Argento atmosphere and fotography like, and even a very, very, very Goblin like score...sometimes it sounds more Goblin than Goblin!...Even though itsn't a great film, is not bad at all ...I was deeply entertain...but the ending is just completely unfaithfull with the rest of the film.
