In the Trap

Wow my review is basically the same as the one above even to the bit I am waiting for wiki to come about so I can actually understand wtf went on

Give it a chance. A horror movie. It is not easy to make a horror movie. Very often it turns out comical and ludicrous. The whole cast takes this movie too seriously. The sound effects only made this movie more ludicrous. At the end, maybe you have wasted your precious time watching it. But at least you decided that.

Featuring the wettest, most simpering leading character I have ever seen. Perpetually crying and whining, Philip does not inspire much in the way of empathy. When not blubbing, he spends a lot of the film delicately nibbling at various meals that are made for him. Sadly, as the film goes on, he only becomes more irritating, deeply so, and that hurts the film throughout.

His girlfriend, far more resolute and personable, is also the preferred meal for the resident demon. Admittedly, Philip goes through the wringer - such is the nature of horror films - but at the end, I couldn't warm to him, and didn't really understand what I'd just watched.

Nice to see veteran actor David Bailie as Father Andrew though,in one of his final roles. My score is 4 out of 10.

Ok for starters, I don't get what all the "I don't get what happened" and "I don't understand" reviews are about, it's not that hard to comprehend and actually, is sadly predictable.

Next, its been a long time since I've just utterly despised the lead protagonist in a movie, but this whiny "guy" takes the cake. Yeah I use the word guy loosely. His high pitched crying girl voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard, in fact I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than listen to another word come out of his mouth. He completely ruins the movie on an entirely different level outside of the movie not being good to begin with.

I generally like the good vs evil possession type horror movies, but this one is just awful. It's not even remotely scary or disturbing by any means. In fact, you just want the protagonist to die a horrible death so the movie will end quicker.

Just skip this one.

P. S. Ok so the movie starts out with the lead as a kid, something bad happens and there's scenes of him after dealing with the tragic event, then it jumps to him being a grown adult. Ok, no biggie movies do that all the time, but then it cuts back to him being a kid again out of nowhere and then jumps back to him as an adult again! WTF? Whoever edited this movie is terrible and should never be allowed to touch a movie ever again.

Where to start.

The casting is wrong. The lead character is like a pathetic needy hipster with a squeaky voice who you just want to tell to stop being SO pathetic. Pathetic to the point of being annoying. It is hard to have any emotional engagement with a character like this. I am not criticising the actor, but he was the wrong choice for this part.

The sound was annoying. The 'dramatic' music totally consuming whatever mood there was - it was too much too often.

The visuals were pretty much mundane throughout. There was the occasional attempt to do something that remotely resembles 'artistic' - but it failed miserably. I felt as though the film was shot from one perspective (shoulder height) and little thought given to shots which would have provided more drama.

The story was all over the place with little justification for moving from one scene to the next in many parts.

Overall I would give this one a miss.
