Dreadfully Boring

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A select number of people at a New Year's Eve party receive a text message that instructs them to a private party on the 27th floor. Each person goes and meets the others as they are sent on a game that quickly becomes deadly. The characters have been hand selected by a slasher in a mask who is stalking the building and floor. This doesn't stop the characters from going out on their own which usually results in them being picked off by the killer. This modern day slasher film has a few interesting plot twists to keep you guessing and interested, such as why has this group been selected to be slaughtered? The production is professional and the action moves at a good pace. This could have easily turned into a "Saw" clone but it chooses to center on who is behind the elaborate scheme keeping to its slasher roots. None of the death sequences stand out over the other, but the movie does keep your interest. Certainly slasher film fans will have the most fun here. The movies biggest flaw, and it's a common one, is that most of the characters are so obnoxious you want to see them die. This isn't the first slasher film to suffer from this and it won't be the last.

Seven people who are celebrating New Year's Eve in a high-rise office building find themselves being forced by a cunning mysterious psychopath to participate in a deadly game. Director Luis Camera, who also co-wrote the clever script with Gabrielle Galanter, relates the absorbing story at a snappy pace, builds a good deal of tension, and makes excellent atmospheric use of the claustrophobic setting. The jolting moments of inventively sadistic violence pack a pretty nasty punch. The sharp sarcastic dialogue gives the movie additional crackling bite. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps everything humming: Georgia Mackenzie as haughty celebrity chef Kathy, Mark Wilson as smarmy faded pop singer Wade, Pascal Langdale as jerky and arrogant troublemaker Robert, Julia Ballard as caustic heartless bitch Nicole, Joanna Bobin as ditsy sycophant Pamela, Annabelle Wallis as the slutty Melanie, and Adam Rayner as the slimy Adam. Since the bulk of the characters are quite stuck up and unlikable, it's a load of fun to see these hateful scum meet assorted harsh untimely ends. The tricky plot takes a few neat twists and turns as it unfolds toward a genuinely startling surprise ending. Kudos are also in order for Patrick Popow's glossy cinematography and Florian Moser's spare shuddery score. A really cool and enjoyable body count opus.

STEEL TRAP is one of these type of movies that appears on obscure horror channels , channels which are so obscure they usually hype up a film like this like it's the latest Hollywood blockbuster . Having said that I did STEEL TRAP was possibly better than I was expecting , but that's not saying much The story is interesting enough . A bunch of drug taking , middle class 30 somethings meet at a new years party and find themselves getting invited to a party on another floor , one that promises much fun and excitement only to find that the party guests are now fighting for their lives . There is some interest in the scenario , despite - or more likely because of - the unoriginality involved STEEL TRAP does have its moments . There's nods to SAW and CUBE though to be fair the movie doesn't over do the gore too much in order to disguise its short comings However the biggest shortcoming is the ending where a character then explains the motives for the murders committed . It's a bit like watching MISEREY which is no bad thing in itself these type of having to explain everything is somewhat patronising . I've also never understood why in these type of movies everyone else gets killed without any explanation except for the last man standing

I watched this not knowing anything about it. I hadn't heard about it and thought it might be interesting. The first few minutes were somewhat painful. Wooden acting, uninspired camera ... It wasn't exactly exciting. But then : I like Cube, and that had similar problems. Then the actual story started, and from then on it went downward. It looks like someone wanted to take advantage of the success of slasher/thriller movies like SAW and Battle Royale but just couldn't think of an original idea, so mixed thriller classics, and added some blood. If you know any of the "10 little n*ggers"-based movies (sorry ... That's the name of the original Agatha Christie book, and somehow she didn't care about being politically correct), you'll figure out what the ~punch line~ of Steel Trap is. This really just a remake of the original story, but sadly it is a very boring one. The characters are all very annoying and the story lacks any kind of suspense. The inevitable come back of the "oh so dead" killer at the end, the frame job ... It's all so predictable it's not even amusing anymore. I give it 4 out of 10 for a few nice lines and the fact that some of the girls actually look kind of nice.
