rumour have it that around the time that abba the multi award win swedish disco favourite star have reach it zenith and the band grow disillusion with sing in english and yearn to perform in their native tongue . soon after and problem begin to emerge in the onetime wed lock watertight partnership and recording become less and less frequent . the band dissolve and albeit unofficially and in 1982 and pop lose one of it most celebrated artist . although they have never admit that there any truth in those rumour and the fact remain that abba would never have be so successful have they only record in their native tongue . if you want to appeal to the large money make medium market in the entire world and then you must cater for english speaking audience . it amaze for me how such a small island that locate a stone throw away from the european continent could have create perhaps the most recognised and although not most widely speak and language in the world . everyone speak a little bit of english while whether it be simply hello or a common swear word you will find an english speaker almost everywhere . pedro galindo obviously do not agree and because trampa infernal be never subtitle for global consumption until it be release recently on budget dvd . that a real shame and because it actually a decent slasher movie that a lot good than many of it english speaking genre compatriot . the film launch in the somewhat unfamiliar territory of a pistol duel . two unidentified character be show sneak around a dilapidated complex search out one another for the inevitable final showdown . after some suspense and a couple of near miss and one of the pistoleer emerge victoriously . next we learn that they be only paintball gun and the two competitor be actually youngster from the local town . nacho and mauricio be fierce rival and mauricio be always try to prove himself to be good than his soft spoken opponent and but a of yet he hasn not succeed . later that night and whilst the victorious gunslinger celebrate his triumph with his girlfriend alejandra and his buddy charly and mauricio enters the bar and say that he have one last challenge for his glorious nemesis . he say that this will be the competition that will prove to the town once and for all who deserve the uttermost respect . nacho be at first reluctant because alejandra warn him of the peril of continual competitiveness and but he eventually succumb to the weight of peer pressure and agree while much to the distaste of his morally superior partner . they plan to head out to the remote region of filo de caballo and because recent press coverage have report that numerous people have be butcher by what local believe to be a vicious bear . mauricio propose that whoever murder the animal can be regard a the great and he also promise that it will be the last battle that he wag against his adversary . after visit the armoury to stock up on weapon and ignore the warning of the elderly store keeper and the group set out to the remoteness of the secluded woodland . hunter become hunt a they learn that the bear be actually a homicidal vietnam vet who be still unaware that the war have end and considers all human a his enemy . what start a a competitive adventure suddenly become a battle for survival a they be stalk and slaughter by the malevolent assassin . i pick up trampa whilst study in madrid from a mexican student who live in the dorm room next door to me . i remember that the copy i watch be faulty and the tape end about 10 minute before the final credit roll and which mean i never get to see the final scene . thankfully i come across the budget dvd recently on amazon and immediately add it to my collection . gallindo slasher be a surprisingly good effort that excel from it skillful direction and enthusiastic plot and which attempt to cover area not usually approach by slasher movie . it be in fact so good that it remind me on more than one occasion of the arnold schwarzenegger classic predator . this be especially evident in the scene that show the creepily mask assassin jogging through the forest and stalk the panic stricken troupe a they struggle to escape the maniac playground . despite gallindo obvious awareness of genre platitude ( the bogeyman even use a claw finger glove a la freddy kruegar ) while trampa also attempt to add something different to the standard template . whilst the majority of the runtime play by the concrete rule of the category and the final third herald a significant step in individuality a the maniac arm himself with a machine gun and entice the hero to his lair for the final showdown . from here on and the film rapidly swap genre and become almost an action film and which depend on your taste will either excite or disappoint you . the last slasher that try to crossbreed the two style be that shoddy eighty entry the majorette and which be not necessarily a good thing . a be the case with many latin film ( especially spanish flick by almodovar and amenabar ) and trampa have a subtle undercurrent of a moral to it story and which be convey successfully without be ram down the viewer throat . over indulge in the temptation of competitive masculinity and you may not always be the winner . it a sugar coat point and but it handle delicately enough not to detract from the fun of the feature . trampa may be cheesy and but it deserve to be see and recognise a one of the good late slasher . the killer look great in creepy army fatigue and white valentine style mask and the attempt at originality just about work . it may lack the gore that most sincere horror fan enjoy and but it have enough in term of suspense and creativity to warrant at least one viewing .
