Paul Magne Haakonsen With no idea what I was getting into here, I still decided to sit down and watch "Witchtrap" on the basis that it was a horror movie. I had never heard about it, nor did I know people on the cast list either.I managed to endure 42 minutes of this pointless movie, which was almost entirely lacking a proper storyline.There was nothing scary in any of the scenes that I saw during the 42 minutes I got through, unless you consider the inability to act as being scary. The dialogue in the movie was so unfathomably poor, staggering and forced, that it was very unnatural.And it didn't help that the cast ensemble weren't really much in for performing in any way that came off as plausible.I will not return to finish this movie ever. Even though the movie was from 1989 but it felt like it was a movie from 1979.

Woodyanders Let me start off this review by openly admitting that this silly supernatural late 80's low-budget fright flick is by no means a shamefully ignored and underrated "lost" classic. In fact, this film is often pretty bad and laughable, but fortunately in a way that's frequently unintentionally funny and hence quite enjoyable for all the wrong reasons. Four parapsychologists and three detectives who say plenty of howl-inducing pitiful dialogue (choice tin-eared gems include "I'm afraid of anything that makes a guy jump out a window," and "I take s**t from you as long as your worth it") investigate Lanterhouse, a creaky old mansion that's haunted by the malevolent spirit of nefarious warlock/mass murderer Avery Lanter, who -- big surprise! -- promptly starts to pick off the wholly deserving and unlikable dimwits in assorted gruesome ways (the best murder set piece occurs when a bullet gets levitated right into a cop's forehead!). Clumsily directed by the usually more competent Kevin S. Tenney (who also gave us the superior 80's shockers "Witchboard" and "Night of the Demons"), with incredibly awful acting, a ridiculous "Carrie" rip-off ending, good gore f/x by Judy Yokemotto, and a hokey plot that blatantly copies "Poltergeist," this uproariously atrocious junk qualifies as a complete gut-busting hoot from stupid start to fumbled finish. As a substantial added bonus, the luscious Linnea Quigley once again dutifully doffs her duds and bares her beautiful body for her umpteenth utterly gratuitous, but much-appreciated shower nude scene (poor Linnea has her neck pierced by an understandably excited shower nozzle). A so-horrible-it's-paradoxically-happening prime tasty chunk of delectably dreadful cheese.

FieCrier A man in a bad suit runs around a house, fleeing something. He dies when he falls out of a second story window. The man was The Amazing Asimov, a Las Vegas magician. The house is in the middle of a cemetery (never really seen), and is haunted by a satanic warlock. The owner hoped to make it an inn, but wants to make sure people who stay there don't get killed by the witch. He hires a team of psychic mediums and cops.The actors are all pretty stiff, and they have to deliver huge amounts of boring dialogue. Not much happens in the movie. The brief death scenes are done fairly well, including a strange shower impalement, and exploding head, and a melting character.

horror7777 Hands down one of the worst films that I've ever seen, but I can't resist telling people they must see this laughable junk! If you had a bad day, don't feel low...WATCH WITCHTRAP! The acting is terrible, the deaths are real cheese, and the writing and directing are pitiful, but this film is a spoof! Kevin Tenney wrote this as a spoof to his 1985 film WITCHBOARD. It succeeds in spoofing that as well as spoofing itself! I cannot stress enough how camp this movie is! It's pure cheese! The ending is also terrible...as contrived as hell...the effects are cheesy, etc. but the film succeeds in creating more unintentional belly laughs then I've ever experienced. Watch WITCHTRAP, you will see what I mean.
