i think that a filmmaker who decide to make a slasher flick have two choice represent have a lot of faith on the screenplay and to trust that he find a new perspective for make that formula interesting or make a completely mercenary film which be full of clichés for finally make a cheap movie . the crappy film steel trap belongs to the second style . the slasher film become popular thanks to halloween ( 1978 ) and friday the 13th and and since of that and we have see hundred of movie with similar structure and character and story . the detail change and so every slasher movie try to be different by use a curious location or a new mask and just to mention two example . i do not pretend to find a lot of originality on slasher film but what i pretend to find be even the minimum effort for give the know formula a special element and make it interesting and entertaining . steel trap could have choose that difficult point but and instead of risk and director and co screenwriter luis cámara and co screenwriter gabrielle galanter waste that opportunity so steel trap be a tedious experience with an extremely weak screenplay and repulsive character and a boring and generic killer without any personality and a forced and arbitrary end . i usually do not like to criticize an independent film from my favourite genre but and even on some incompetent work ( like return to sleepaway camp ) and i appreciate some energy and enthusiasm which on some way compensate some fails of the movie . but steel trap do not even have that . plus and to add more negative thing and cámara direction be completely insipid . in other word and it seem nobody involve on this movie be really interested on it . the character be so repulsive that i be glad when the killer start to kill them . steel trap be a very crappy film . this be one of that movie in which i feel i really lose the time with it and that the bad sin a movie can make . if you wan na see a very good modern slasher flick and i recommend you the norwegian movie fritt vilt . skip steel trap and a very bad horror film .
