Witchtrap

Possibly the worst acting ever in a genre not noted for its sterling thespians. Quigley is the best of the lot, shining (relatively) in her role as one of the many disposable sacks of blood in this tedious time-sink. Who lives through it? Who cares? Since the characters are all blanks, there's no suspense and the little interest there is wanes quickly. One of the all-time worst horror films.

It's unbelievable that the same director who brought us "Night of the Demons" could churn out such an amateur hour crap-fest. The script is a typical ripoff of "The Haunting" but if the Robert Wise flick was rated 100 this would get a 1. The director has a cameo appearance which says it all: his acting "skills" come strictly from the "deer in the headlights" school of acting. Linnea Quigley is pretty to look at. It's too bad she wasn't more discriminating in her choice of roles. She made a few decent flicks, then wallowed away her career in a sea of these cheeseball no budget snoozers. See this one ONLY for laughs. It's a howler.

Witchtrap

I really couldn't imagine any other reason to want to watch this movie unless you are trying to see as many 80's horror's as you can. Personally I love haunted houses that have a bunch of parapsychology student shoved at it. A lot of fun horrors from the 70's and 80's horror follow the basics that Witchtrap use. Getting stuck in some place and sending someone off for help. Being picked off one by one. The start of this movie was tedious and gratuitous in padding. It's really a midday horror and as such its not that bad. You could easily enjoy this movie while doing something else, that's something people don't think about with these old movies. Play it a little sped up and treat it as an audio book that you can occasionally watch and its a pretty decent story.

This movie is a must for persons who also want to make a movie in the future. Then you'll know there are always worst. The actors are so bad that they are becoming funny. The discussion at the table before entering the house is excellent. The "special effects" are the worst I've ever seen. The crew did have the guts to make and show this crap on TV, and that's brilliant. We were constantly laughing, you must realize that this movie is not seriously meant (I hope).

This comes across as so amateurish it's amazing it got made. The script is lazy and naive, the acting is by numbers. Gratuitous nudity adds nothing. Yet... somehow... it's almost impossible to turn off. Maybe you just end up wanting to see justice done, and nobody makes it out alive. Meh!

No pun intended - and this may be quite cliche. But it still work as a horror movie from the 80s. Nudity and some violence included. If that satisfies your needs - well you can go ahead and watch this. Acting is decent, considering the theme and budget this has. I am surprised that title has not been used more often - seems like a good title to use for any horror movie. I expect this to change sometime in the future - and not with remakes of this that is.

This triffle of a film, gives new meaning to the word bad. Bad direction, bad script, bad editing, bad special effects, bad acting, everything about this film is bad. No redeeming features what-so-ever (some might argue, saying Quigley naked is always good, but you can always rent any of her other films.). One of the absolute worst films of all time. Not even good for a couple of laughs and not good in a cheesy way. Avoid it. 1 out of 10.
