Editorial Reviews
Vinegar Syndrome specializes in the masterful restoration and distribution of cult, horror, and erotic films from the 1960s-90s.
For years, the Lauter House has been plagued by strange and violent occurrences. Unexplained deaths and seemingly supernatural activities have scared away all perspective tenants and buyers, but now its owners have decided to turn the old mansion into a bed and breakfast. Follow a team of paranormal experts as they attempt to remove the demonic forces and cleanse the property of all evil, through the use of a special device designed to lure in and trap evil spirits. But as soon as they arrive, the violence begins again as members of the team begin to meet increasingly bloody fates...
Director Kevin Tenney's (NIGHT OF THE DEMONS) WITCHTRAP is a gleefully gory and over the top late 80s supernatural shocker. Starring James Quinn (WITCHBOARD) and featuring scream queen Linnea Quigley in the film's most memorable and creative death scene, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring this outrageous cult classic to Blu-ray, totally uncut, with its long censored gore fully intact, and in a brand new Director and Cinematographer approved restoration, for the first time anywhere in the world!

The similarities between the two movies are:
1) A team of psychics and paranormal investigators go to investigate a deserted mansion that is said to be haunted by an evil ghost.
2) One of the psychics experiences violent manifestations that are caused by the evil ghost working through them.
3) Each group has a leader who is also an atheist and the leader has invented something to cleanse the house of the evil presence/spirit(s).
4) Each group possesses both a physical and a mental medium. If you don’t know what the difference is, then look no more. Judy Tatum who plays Agnes Goldberg is kind enough to provide an explanation in Witchtrap.
5) The evil spirit has the power to make people hallucinate.
The differences that can be found in Witchtrap are:
1) There is only one evil spirit, Avery Lauter, who happens to be a former illusionist, psychic and serial killer, hence the movie being named Witchtrap. The team believe that he has created a ritual for immortalization that was interrupted before it could be completed. This is because when the police came to arrest him, he was found dead with his heart cut out.
2) There is a sinister (human) groundskeeper called Elwin who was Avery’s former assistant and now acts as some sort of servant/accomplice to the ghost.
3) The team of psychics and investigators are accompanied by three police officers because the last resident of the mansion was murdered (the ghost scared them into committing suicide) and Avery’s nephew who now owns the mansion wants the team to be protected because of this.
4) Unlike Legend of Hell House, Witchtrap has a lot of unknown actors. However, some people might be familiar with Linnea Quigley who plays Ginger, the video technician as she has done a lot of horror films.
5) Witchtrap does, however, provide some innovative and creative deaths. For example, one includes a showerhead and there is another involving a bullet.
Pros: Witchtrap is low-budget, but it is also quite charming in its own way. While, the plot is a lot like Legend of Hell House, I thought that it was original enough to stand on its own two feet as a low-budget horror movie.
I liked having Vincente, the cop, as the protagonist because he has some sassy one-liners that I found to be genuinely funny. While the group's acting was a bit wooden in places, it also wasn’t bad in others. The movie got quite comedic sometimes, especially with some of the dialogue and interactions and I found myself laughing quite a few times. The special effects start out slow, but eventually some more interesting ones are added, such as a fight between Vincente and Elwin, an exploding car and so on.
Cons: The characters weren’t developed enough. For instance, I liked Judy Tatum as Agnes. Her acting wasn’t always the best, but I did think that her character had the potential to be more interesting. For instance, she believes in psychics, her “witch trap” and the paranormal, but she’s also an atheist. This could have been an interesting point of contention for the film, but this movie didn’t really take the time to develop the characters. Whitney, the physical medium, also believes in God, which could have led to more interactions between her and Agnes. There is a scene between them early on in the film where they briefly discuss this, but it doesn't go any further.
There are also two cops who are also portrayed as “minority characters” who visit the house with their white boss. One is black and one is Native American. Now, the writer clearly wanted to portray strong, independent minority characters, which is fine. The problem is that while their boss is white and definitely does cause some conflict, the other two cause quite a bit of it themselves.
For instance, when the boss tells Vincente that they’re going to make a lot of money from visiting the house, Vincente responds with “What do you mean “we”, white man?” This kind of takes away a little bit from the development of that particular idea because it makes it look as if all three characters are at fault for the conflict between them.
With a bit of improved writing and dialogue, I think this movie could have delved deeper into the individual characters and their separate motivations.
Overall, I think Witchtrap is an eccentric little low-budget movie that has a kind of charm and cheese about it. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars. I would advise people to go into this without expecting too much. Think of it as more of a fun kind of movie that you would watch on a stormy night. No, it is not Legend of Hell House, but if you like B-movies with a bit of cheese, then you may end up enjoying this.

The movie itself... well... that's more of a subjective call because it is one of the worst movies you will ever see.
Had a great time laughing at it and dropping my jaw at how bad the acting got. Glad to have it in my collection.
Keep 'em coming VS!
