Witchtrap

About This Movie

Witchtrap is one of those oddball '80s horror flicks that blends action and supernatural elements in a really intriguing way. The setup is simple enough – a team of parapsychologists and a skeptical cop find themselves at this creepy bed-and-breakfast that’s haunted by a Satanic ghost. What makes it stand out is the atmosphere; there's a persistent tension that keeps you on edge, even when the pacing gets a bit uneven. The practical effects are pretty decent for its time, adding a layer of authenticity to the scares. The performances, especially from the lead, have that 'we're in way over our heads' vibe that resonates well with the audience. It's a unique slice of late '80s horror that doesn’t just follow the usual tropes.
