Review of Steel Trap (2007) by Alex R — 07 Nov 2011

Steel Trap is a terrible, poorly constructed film using previous ideas from other films. The plot is cliché, the characters are poorly developed and the directing is terrible. Steel Trap could have been a good horror film, but the fact is, is that it reminded me too much of Saw with a bad cast.

Steel Trap is a clichéd ridden film that doesn't do anything new or original to entertain the viewer. I felt that the film missed the mark, and didn't offer anything good or entertaining. Steel Trap was a pointless film and by the time the credits role, you realize how much you wasted your time on this stupid, pointless film.

Steel Trap is a badly conceived film that ultimately doesn't go anywhere. The films plot is mediocre, and to make that worse, the cast is terrible and it really sinks this film further. Steel Trap might've been a good film, but it's a dud, a total failure of a horror film.

This is a film that scraps the bottom of the barrel. Director Luis Camara cannot craft a competent film. Steel Trap is a poor film with a mediocre story. I thought that Steel Trap was not worth watching, and that the cast was awful, and that Steel Trap was simply an uninspired horror film trying to cash in on the torture porn genre that Saw pioneered.

It doesn't work, and Steel Trap is a bad film that is actually one of the worst horror films of the last few years. Stick with Saw; at least you'll a better crafted horror film with a decent cast and good gore effects, which is what Steel Trap lacks.
