Trap House (2023) is a movie that was recently added to Tubi. The storyline follows a police officer who finds his little brother dead in a crack jouse. He decides to take the law into his own hands and try to uncover who got his brother addicted to drugs that led to his murder. He finds a dealer that can take him to the source of the drugs; but once there, he may need to make his way through an actual trap house filled with booby traps where one wrong step will cause him to lose his head, literally.

This movie is directed by Nicholas Humphries (The Shell Collector) and stars Jaime M. Callica (Hypnotic), Peter Bundic (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Michael Eklund (The Call), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Angry Birds: Summer Madness) and Donna Benedicto (Supergirl).

This is another one of those movies with a mediocre storyline, bad acting and worse dialogue...but fantastic kill scenes, especially at the beginning and end. The police office and his investigation was fairly annoying and not a worthwhile plot. However, the booby traps in this movie were fun and well done. That opening sequence with the shotgun was tremendous. The way the traps were used to set up various scenes at the end were clever. And the final fight at the end is very good, especially if you shut the sound off and just watch and don't listen to their back and forth dialogue. Most of the fight scenes are painful, but the last one was pretty good. This has an Eacape Room feel to it in a lot of ways.

Overall, this had some potential based on the concept and kills but the writing and acting falls short. I would score this a 3.5/10 but recommend watching it once.
