Hell's Trap, 1989 – ★★★
A hidden gem packed with gritty action and wild energy—rough around the edges, but a blast once it gets going.
A hidden gem packed with gritty action and wild energy—rough around the edges, but a blast once it gets going.
Utter nonsense stitched together from spare parts, but there’s a strange charm in its chaotic, genre-clashing madness.
Lacks the goofy charm and energy of its predecessor—more slog than spectacle, with fewer thrills than expected.
Gleefully bizarre and soaked in early ’80s weirdness, it’s a messy but memorable ride through supernatural mayhem.
What once terrified me as a kid now charms—silly, spooky fun with lovable little monsters and a cozy creature-feature vibe.
Solid talent wasted on a script that never rises above formula. Familiar beats and cheap scares drag it down.
Visually eerie but narratively muddled, it leans too hard on ambiguity. If you need a guide to understand it, something’s off.
Tries to coast on atmosphere but never builds a strong enough foundation—by the time the twist hits, it’s too little, too late.
Surprisingly gripping with a mean streak that keeps things tense. Exceeds expectations and then some.
Plays every haunted-house note by the book, with nothing new to say. Just another tired spirit overstaying its welcome.
Too offbeat for its own good, with grating characters and a script that leans hard on tired horror tropes.
Still delivers the punches, the swagger, and that irresistible Ma Dong-seok charm. Bring on twenty more—I’ll be watching every one.
Nowhere near the accidental magic of the original, but the chaos and Wiseau weirdness make it a worthy, if baffling, follow-up.
Tries hard to be wild and witty but lands with a thud—loud, chaotic, and rarely as smart as it thinks it is.
Stretched thin and far too drawn out, it loses momentum early and never quite finds the road back.
