Evil Dead Trap (7/10)

Posted on

Japanese horror that draws almost note for note from Italian gore-maestro Lucio Fulci–synthy score, gratuitous eye gag, sound f/x track that is comprised almost entirely of someone stirring a bowl of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Not quite a classic, but there are some nice misdirections and twists in the set pieces.

Shephen Chow’s family movie that follows the formula laid out in E.T. a couple of decades ago. Chow knows his craft. Just when you think the movie has started to drift off track his pulls it back on track. The ending is a little lame.
