Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Paul Magne Haakonsen With no idea what I was getting into here, I still decided to sit down and watch "Witchtrap" on the basis that it was a horror movie. I had never heard about it, nor did I know people on the cast list either.I managed to endure 42 minutes of this pointless movie, which was almost entirely lacking a proper storyline.There was nothing scary in any of the scenes that I saw during the 42 minutes I got through, unless you consider the inability to act as being scary. The dialogue in the movie was so unfathomably poor, staggering and forced, that it was very unnatural.And it didn't help that the cast ensemble weren't really much in for performing in any way that came off as plausible.I will not return to finish this movie ever. Even though the movie was from 1989 but it felt like it was a movie from 1979.
Michael_Elliott Witchtrap (1989) * (out of 4) Deadly dull horror film about a group of ghost hunters and cops who enter an old mansion, which is said to be haunted by its previous owner. One cop (James W. Quinn) doesn't believe any of the rumors but before long he learns that there really are evil spirits.Director-writer Kevin Tenney was coming off WITCHBOARD and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS, two films that did extremely well on VHS and this here is the unofficial entry to the unofficial trilogy. It's easy to see why the director gained a cult following but I must say that this film here is about as pointless and worthless as you can get. Hey, I love horror movies of the 1980s but this one here is just a complete miss from start to finish.I had all sorts of problems with this movie but the biggest was the fact that there's just nothing here. The majority of the 91-minute running time are just boring characters talking about their boring situation and so many of these scenes should have been edited down. For example, take a look at the scene where the cop is having a discussion with his boss in a bar. This thing just drags on to the point where you'll want to throw something at the screen. And how many scenes do we need where the cop is putting down ghosts and having someone explain why they're real? Scenes like that just drag out the running time and they're just really boring. Not to mention there's nothing overly special about the dialogue either. Another major problem is that the film is extremely uneven in regards to what it's trying to do. I'm not sure if the film was meant to be taken serious or if it was a spoof of the genre. If it was a spoof then none of it was funny and most of the "comedy" is just stupid. If it was meant to be taken serious then the obnoxious cop is totally wrong.The director does offer up a couple bloody death scenes but certainly not enough to make the film worth sitting through. You fans of Linnea Quigley will be happy to see her here and yes, she's gets completely naked, which is the only reason to watch this turkey.
jimmyplm Linnea Quigley is one of the best slasher movie vixens of all time. She may never win an Oscar, but she still has won the hearts of many loyal fans. I personally adore Linnea, and I love the way she always makes time for her fans. I found her email address once and sent her a little fan email. She actually took the time to email me back a sweet response. Isn't that a great celebrity? She is a goddess. If Linnea is in a horror flick, you know that it is going to be pretty good. You never have to worry about hating the movie because with Linnea, how can you lose? Do yourself a favor and check out Linnea's horror workout, Night of the Demons, or Return of the Living Dead!
MarshallStax Possibly the worst acting ever in a genre not noted for its sterling thespians. Quigley is the best of the lot, shining (relatively) in her role as one of the many disposable sacks of blood in this tedious time-sink. Who lives through it? Who cares? Since the characters are all blanks, there's no suspense and the little interest there is wanes quickly. One of the all-time worst horror films.
