Okay so this came up on my list on Amazon to watch for some reason. We start off with a horrible acting and camerawork scene of a scared man falling off a 2 story window. That was the longest fall from a 2 story window I've ever seen.

-1 Star for the horrible opening sequence with the fall from a 2 story window and the very watery blood that apparently spewed from the guys head......

Next scene, some girl in the bathtub lying there au natural. No fakery here and no hiding from the cameras.

+1 Star for letting it hang out a bit in the bathtub.....

So this is about the Lauder House, a supposedly haunted property. A team is assembled to properly EXORCISE this house, and be photographed. The owner wants to make BED AND BREAKFAST work. A team to investigate a psychic phenomenon and a team to provide security to that team.

So these 2 crews finally get to the house. Boy is there some horrible acting in this mess. And some crazy cliches in the dialogue. 'I never discuss religion on any day with a Y in it. ' So they begin with a 'session' after they setup all their equipment, and they try to contact Avery Lauder, the man of the HOUSE!

And basically what happens is the vocal medium starts getting all vocal, the physical medium starts flopping around like an idiot while the cool beans security dude he's definitely Super Joe Cool. But the blonde she gets killed in the SHOWER BY THE SHOWER. And I mean literally BY THE SHOWER, she gets killed.

Then there's a fight sequence between the groundskeeper and security Joe that is so intense I don't think I've seen a fight so intense since that one in S2 Ep5 of Bonanza, when Hoss Cartwright fought 'Stranger In Hat'. They finally figure out that they 'have to get out of this house, RIGHT NOW.' Oh dear!!!

-1 Star for that horrific fight scene

LOL well the groundskeeper got hisself a gun now and he's a crack shot. He shoots the gas tank in the van and blows that up. He shoots vocal medium in the gut. Quickly!!! They've trapped the spirit of Lauder in the Lauder spirit trapper device that was brought by Dr. Sprit Trapper, but it's not going to hold him!!!! We must rejoin Lauders heart with his ASHES!!! rUH ROH HE'S FREE!!! He repossesses physical medium Whitney!!! Bahahaha, and eats his own ashes!!! Well that's one way to keep them safe!!! Security Joe just saw HER chug down the urn of ashes yet he's calling HER MISS OSHEA NOW.

-1 Star for the MISS OSHEA line....

Lauder now says he's immortal and tosses Joe around like a rag doll. But Joe gets the heart box and throws it out the window where it splatters below the house and then Lauder melts, of course he's in Whitney's body right??? oh wait....is Whitney going to live through this?? OH YES, SHE IS. LAUDER MELTED ALL AROUND HER BODY AND LEFT HER BODY INTACT.... ROFL...

-1 FOR that hideous crap.

But Security Joe and Physical Medium Whitney they manage to survive the Lauder House and get to drive away. But is the Lauder ghost still roaming the halls of the Lauder House??? Oh my a question for the AGES!!!!

2/10

WITCHTRAP is a fun, basic B-movie horror flick from 1989, extremely dated and '80s in style with some exceptionally bad acting at certain moments. Despite all that it's mildly enjoyable, a film that's easy to laugh with and at on occasion, and the simplicity of the plot allows for lots of scares and attempted scares. A bunch of characters show up at a haunted old inn in a bid to exorcise the evil spirit that resides there, and inevitably they get bumped off one by one via supernatural accidents. There are people getting killed by shower heads, a man's head exploding, and cute Linnea Quigley playing a "goodie" for once, although expect her usual gratuitous nude scene. Hardly a classic, still fun, WITCHTRAP is perhaps the most typical example of an '80s horror flick there is.

Let me start off this review by openly admitting that this silly supernatural late 80's low-budget fright flick is by no means a shamefully ignored and underrated "lost" classic. In fact, this film is often pretty bad and laughable, but fortunately in a way that's frequently unintentionally funny and hence quite enjoyable for all the wrong reasons. Four parapsychologists and three detectives who say plenty of howl-inducing pitiful dialogue (choice tin-eared gems include "I'm afraid of anything that makes a guy jump out a window," and "I take s**t from you as long as your worth it") investigate Lanterhouse, a creaky old mansion that's haunted by the malevolent spirit of nefarious warlock/mass murderer Avery Lanter, who -- big surprise! -- promptly starts to pick off the wholly deserving and unlikable dimwits in assorted gruesome ways (the best murder set piece occurs when a bullet gets levitated right into a cop's forehead!). Clumsily directed by the usually more competent Kevin S. Tenney (who also gave us the superior 80's shockers "Witchboard" and "Night of the Demons"),with incredibly awful acting, a ridiculous "Carrie" rip-off ending, good gore f/x by Judy Yokemotto, and a hokey plot that blatantly copies "Poltergeist," this uproariously atrocious junk qualifies as a complete gut-busting hoot from stupid start to fumbled finish. As a substantial added bonus, the luscious Linnea Quigley once again dutifully doffs her duds and bares her beautiful body for her umpteenth utterly gratuitous, but much-appreciated shower nude scene (poor Linnea has her neck pierced by an understandably excited shower nozzle). A so-horrible-it's-paradoxically-happening prime tasty chunk of delectably dreadful cheese.
