Trap: This trap punished a group of racists, consisting of Evan (Chester Bennington), his girlfriend (Gabby West) and two of his friends (Dru Viergiver and Benjamin Clost). Evan was in a car, glued to the seat. He had to reach forward - thus ripping off much of the skin on his back - and pull a lever. When he failed to do this, the timer's expiration set off a chain of events that killed the four of them with very bloody results.

The Horsepower Trap is legitimately superb.

Mixing a very imaginative concept with plenty of tension and some gloriously OTT and darkly hilarious social commentary, this one is just an incredibly entertaining trap to watch. Marred only by some weak special effects, this set-piece is so much better than nearly everything else in this worthless turd of a sequel.
