Years before the ‘Resident Evil’ and ‘Silent Hill’ franchises, and J-Horror classics such as ‘Ringu’ and ‘Ju-On: The Grudge,’ pulp filmmaker Toshiharu Ikeda created a plethora of pulp films to simultaneously disturb and intrigue his late night viewers. Sadly, Ikeda’s legacy came to an end when he passed away in 2010, but fans of J-horror still uncover, restore, and admire his films today. Arguably Ikeda at his weirdest and best, ‘Evil Death Trap’ is a visceral sexploitation horror from the 80’s which would go on to set the standard for the countless celebrated horror films and video games to come out of Japan within the next decade. With the movie’s recent Unearthed Films restoration, ‘Evil Dead Trap’ has never felt more hideously enthralling.
The story begins at a production studio in the 1980’s, where an almost exclusively female TV crew is desperate for leads on a new story to cover.
