Synopsis
A tape of a real murder lands at a TV station, and that's where Evil Dead Trap (死霊の罠, 1988) begins — a cult Japanese horror you can watch online on iFILM. Late-night show host Nami (Miyuki Ono) recognizes the abandoned military factory in the footage and heads there with her crew to dig up the truth.
What waits inside isn't answers but traps — tripwires, spikes, blades — as someone picks the visitors off one by one. Director Toshiharu Ikeda drenches the film in Italian giallo influence: gory, inventive set-piece kills in the Dario Argento mold, a pulsing synth score that nods hard to Goblin, and a final act that veers into pure delirium. This is hard, explicit late-1980s filmmaking, not for the squeamish, but essential viewing if you trace Asian horror back to its roots. A hundred minutes of mounting terror and trademark Japanese excess. Stream Evil Dead Trap (1988) online on iFILM.
