| User ReviewSimon PCheap and nasty horror flick which has stolen ideas from many of the recent torture films but has a fine collection of sinister creeps and sickos all its own. |
| User Reviewscott gKind of like that film Vacancy from the 00s, a little diferent in aproach at ti,mes, but very similer in parts, and although Vacancy was no classic, this doesent have any visual style that film had going for it, but its good seeing jeff fahey twirliong his moustache. |
| User ReviewAl MEssentially an attempt to capitalize on Vacancy and other similar films, Terror Trap features a few moments of genuine brutality and creepiness. However. for the most part, it is a boring and derivative piece of torture cinema that never manages to develop its own identity apart from the films that it is copying. |
| User ReviewLarry R. BIt's a lot like Vacancy with Luke Wilson & Kate Beckinsale without the high end stars. Kind of dumb! |
| User ReviewJeanie SHostel meets Vacancy in this cheap little knock-off. A couple's car is run off the road and a creepy town sheriff leaves them at a motel. This motel is actually a place where snuff videos are made and people come and sit and watch horrific acts being performed on the unsuspecting visitors. The film doesn't bog itself down with satire concerning business and violence, though it is mentioned. The big problem is that the horrible acts start in the middle of an argument between the protagonists. This means we're never truly on their side, though their actions do go some-ways to expressing their feelings for each other. Madsen just sits in a room for an easy cheque and Fahey overdoes creepy without ever being threatening. He just shouts. It isn't completely awful, but it's never scary or tense. However, the end is completely head scratching as it contains a scene that just doesn't add up to anything. |
| User ReviewBoNeyMiZz .Nothing remotely scary ever happens. It's filmed with such distance during the "intense" parts that you never ever feel a sense of panic or danger. Watch Vacancy or The Strangers instead. |
| User ReviewCharlie GTerror Trap is an uninspired knock off of Vacancy, and features two rather unlikeable lead characters. There isn't much here worth seeing, other than an underused Micheal Madsen and and over the top lunatic performance from Jeff Fahey. But then, both have given stronger performances elsewhere. I vote skip it. |
| User ReviewJames CToo many characters and too confusing. Not really a central plot and main person of interest. Not that scary, feels like they got bits and pieces of other movies and put it together for the gore effects. |
| User ReviewRitt sOne of the worst movies in recent film history |
| User ReviewNolan PGod damn awful. Terrible acting all round. |
