Hell's Trap

Of course I had never heard about the 1989 Mexican horror movie "Trampa Infernal" (aka "Hell's Trap") prior to sitting down and watching it ere in 2024. I stumbled upon the movie by sheer luck, and seeing it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to sit down and watch it.

Writers Pedro Galindo III and Santiago Galindo, with the former also directing the movie, actually put together a fair enough script and storyline. It was a pretty straightforward story, although it was somewhat generic, but still proved to be a watchable and fairly entertaining movie to watch.

Given my extremely limited exposure to the Mexican cinema, much less late 1980s Mexican cinema, then of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances in "Trampa Infernal" were fair.

Visually then the movie was actually okay. It wasn't a movie that had an abundance of special effects on the screen in every single scene, but whatever effects were being used proved to be passable and fair, even by today's standards.

"Trampa Infernal" might worth sitting down to watch if you enjoy slasher horror movies, though you're not in for anything grand here.

My rating of director Pedro Galindo III's 1989 movie "Trampa Infernal" lands on a four out of ten stars.
