3.0 out of 5 stars steel trap was average but the ending......ugh!, August 12, 2008

By	David Carney "REVELATIONS;3 13" (POINT PLEASANT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A group of people who all have one thing in common,they all work in the media field.After bringing in the New year each one is summons via text message to the 27 th floor for an after party.I did notice the clock on the wall said 9:30 pm....OOOPS!Anyway each one is taunted by a crazed man wearing a black costume and what appears to me as a metalic silver mask almost ninja style.As the morning wears on one by one they're running around advoiding the killer.All in all it kept me interested but the characters were unlikable.They were mean spirited and arrogant as hell!Root for the killer! The ending was frustrating mainly because it was silly and a let down.You be da judge on dat!

1.0 out of 5 stars Tries to be Too Clever for Its Own Good, March 9, 2009

By	Graboidz (Westminster, Maryland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Maybe they should have called this thing "Drywall Trap" or "Office Space Trap", because there really isn't a whole lot of "Steel" visible during the flick...maybe the elevator doors??

I really did like the premise of this film. You get nine almost-strangers trapped on the 27th floor of a deserted high rise being hunted down one-by-one by a masked killer. As a huge fan of slasher flicks, that is all I needed to give this one a shot. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things missing that would have made the film enjoyable:
1. - Likable Characters. Okay, so when you make a slasher flick, you always need someone to play the jerk, just so you can enjoy watching them get hacked to pieces. Well, with "Steel Trap" all you have are unlikable idiots that no one could possibly relate too. With so many unlikable characters, you truly don't care who wins, loses, lives or dies. You just want it over with.
2. - A Menacing Killer. The photos on the DVD of the masked killer look pretty creepy...and that is as close to scary as it gets with the movie. In action this masked dork doesn't really inspire fright so much as bemusement.
3. - Creepy Setting. If all else fails, put your protagonists in a creepy environment that can be fun to look at. Watching someone run past the copier room in what looks like an insurance agency office is just plain dull.
4. - Have some Gore. For a DVD from "Dimension Extreme" you would hope a little red stuff would spill from time to time. Even a low-grade horror flick can at least pump out some grue to enliven things, but any red stuff spilled here is strictly in the "Rated PG" range.

The cover of the DVD looks awesome, the story sounds compelling, but trust me, the only thing resembling a "trap" is the marketing done for this film. I sprung it, and was trapped into wasting 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Avoid this one big time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ok horror film and very entertaining, January 31, 2009

By	Michael Leander P. May (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought the movie was entertaining. I went into the movie not looking for much, I was aware of the B- horror film camp I was getting myself into. And the film brought just that to the table. It was mindless fun, and the ending was fun too. Root to the killer, and everything makes sense. I don't like to give spoilers, so sorry for the vague review. But it is worth a rental or to pick up at a cheap price.
