10 Foreign Horror Films That Shame Hollywood

There are no zombies in Evil Dead Trap but there’s gore, sadism and monsters aplenty, all served up with a lack of restraint that makes Dario Argento look like Frank Capra.

When what purports to be a snuff film arrives on the desk of a ratings-hungry TV presenter, she and her crew journey out to the deserted army base shown on the tape, unaware that it’s home to a sicko with a penchant for torture porn. When these idiots decide to split up and wander off alone down dark corridors, that’s when the movie shifts into high gear.

This is basically the Japanese version of an 80s slasher, but even though it follows that template for a while, it departs from the formula and follows its own path, ending up with one of the craziest resolutions you’ve ever seen.

Imagine the best of Mario Bava, David Cronenberg and Frank Henenlotter blended together in one movie and you’ll have an idea of what’s in store.
