Evil Dead Trap (1988). Wacky and brutal gore dominates this twisted Japanese offering whose influences are splendidly obvious. There is no lack of insane kills, brutality, and some gratuitous and mean sex thrown in for good measure. This one definitely deserves to be a classic. The story is simple but takes a wicked little twist towards the end. The acting is fine for the occasion, with the doe eyed, perpetually freaked-out lead almost looking like an American with her incessantly popped eyes. The direction was spectacular, with a disturbing sense of art and dementia brilliantly weaved together. The score was wonderfully playful. Merci beaucoup.
