Evil Dead Trap is a Japanese horror film from the 80's that drew a lot of inspiration from Italian and American horror film's from that era, particularly Argento, Cronenburg and Fulci movie's. It's got all the color's, technique's, and beautifully staged murder sequences of Argento's best work, with the supernatural and bizarre element's of a Cronenburg movie, and the gore of a Fulci movie all blended into a strange, yet incredible horror film (even has a soundtrack that could be mistaken as lost Goblin music).
A newswoman get's a strange videotape of a girl being sliced up in an abandoned factory (including an eyeball slicing scene reminiscent of Fulci's New York Ripper) and she and her collegues decide to investigate the murder. It then turn's into a enjoyably confusing nightmare of gore and the supernatural. One after another they get murdered in very brutal and creative way's, and then top's it all off with a Cronenburg-like, sci-fi ending. This is one of the best Japanese (or anywhere for that matter) horror flick's ever to have been made, and I can't recommend this one enough.

Before Ringu made Japanese horror films mainstream in the west, there was Evil Dead Trap...probably the most well known Asian horror film of its time. A late night news program recieves an apparent snuff film from an obsessed viewer. Hoping this will be the big story she has been looking for, anchorette Nami and her crew decice to investigate. Once the bodies start to drop though, it becomes clear to Nami that there may be more to this story than meets the eye.

This is a great Japanese horror film from the 80's with an ending reminescent of early Cronenberg. Any fan of the genre should be more than pleased.
