Halloween Trap Kill Kill

... a total waste of time. I only watched this because I'm a heavy metal fan, & Dave Mustaine plays a prominent role. It's not worth watching for him or for any other reason.

I would actually want to see the entire cast of this movie in a better movie. The sexy rock band girls, Richard Greico, Dave Mustaine, the smaller characters - the actors playing made this movie as good as it could be, which is still terrible. I think they could all be awesome in a better movie.

Considering that this movie was released by Cleopatra Records, who is mostly famous for lesser-known goth & industrial music releases, the music in "HPTKK" is pretty cool.

But boy, does this go downhill fast. It starts off with some insane gore, then switches to a (primarily) all-foxy girl band, they all dress slutty, at least 3 get naked, and it has Dave Mustaine as the voice of Jigsa... wait, he was a disfigured soldier who fought in Pakistan, but he's the guy orchestrating the deadly games for this band and crew.

What deadly games, you ask? I dunno, check out the Saw franchise, which this movie blatantly steals from. There is even a twist in here, correct me if I'm wrong, that I've seen in a Saw movie (actually, the twist has got to be a trope by now). Someone mentioned Rob Zombie. Yes! The setup is directly lifted from House of 1000 Corpses (and can be seen in plenty of others), and some characters actions aped those found in The Devil's Rejects. But the Saw premise is so shameless, it's impossible to ignore. Plus the movie gets worse and worse the more it progresses. People just screaming at each other through this endless labyrinth of a SHACK... I thought it was stated there were 3 rooms?! Oh Dave, you are tricky.

Actually, I had semi-high hopes after seeing the trailer, it looked like a trashy good time, and what, Dave Mustaine is in it?! I suppose this is worth checking out, then shutting off midway through, if you like pretty women in a band dressed like slutty clown hookers. And that's my recommendation.

I started this for some background noise while doing housework. It was so bad I stoped and changed movies 2/3 through. Bad acting. Retread idea. God Awful costumes. The writers know nothing about chemistry or weapons. The next Saw movie should use this as one of their tortures. I'm pretty sure someone would blind themselves rather than be forced to watch this all the way through.

....you've seen this. 100% no fun, nonsensical plot, zero characters, no sense of humor, (even Rob Zombie can crack a joke or two in his bad movies), and there just aren't any interesting visuals. Also, preachy much? The girls were cute, which is why I gave this 3 instead of 1 stars.

This is definitely not for everyone. You have to find an appreciation in bad movies to enjoy this. Personally, the mindset I take as I go into these kinds of movies is something like this:

"For the next hour and a half, I get to shut off my brain, forget everything and COMPLETELY suspend disbelief."

Then it's a jolly good time!

First things first: even through a dark and gritty warehouse, Sara Malakul Lane is simply a ray of sunshine. She's such a rare beauty; the kind where she has her own cachet and no one looks like her.

There are some nice ideas of intensely cruel acts (such as a full eye-gouging and removal scene) but it's not executed very well. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have its high moments and that the faint of heart won't squirmish profusely through this flick.

I actually like the industrial/punk music which plays throughout the movie even though it doesn't really fit, but the songs sound good.

The movie gets an extra 2 stars from me due to the fact that Dave Mustaine (singer of Megadeth) voices the psycho and you can hear him for 3/4 of the movie. His voice will carry you for the incoherent times.

Overall, a fun horror flick! If you like slasher horror, you've absolutely seen everything there is to see in this movie but it was better executed. It's Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets Saw meets Sinful Dwarf meets Halloween. BUT... Sara Malakul Lane!
