Comment:
Arguably the most controversial and popular Japanese horror film ever made, Evil Dead Trap (aka Shiryo no Wana) is finally coming to DVD in the United States from Synapse Films! Nami, a talk show hostess, tells her audience to send in home videos to profile on her lat night program. Soon, she receives an anonymous videotape in the mail…a tape containing terrifying imagery. She watches in horror as an unseen filmmaker follows a route to a abandoned factory…and brutally tortures and kills a woman on camera. A camera crew is assembled and they set off to follow the videotape’s trail to the foreboding location. What they find there is a horror beyond imagination! There is someone…or something…in the mysterious building. Something waiting in the shadows to torture and murder them one by one… With Evil Dead Trap, director Toshiharu Ikeda has created a horrifying masterpiece of Japanese cinema. The kinetic visual style is reminiscent of Dario Argento (Suspiria), David Cronenberg (eXistenZ) and Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead) and it builds with genuine suspense and terror. Written by Takashi Ishii (Gonin 1 & 2), Evil Dead Trap was so popular it spawned many sequels and was a hit in theatres. This film has a huge cult following and is sure to please any serious horror film fan!
