Trap House (I) (2023) User Reviews

Are the actors' moms reviewing this?

[dungrocket · 3/10 · 14 June 2023]

What in the world is going on with the two prior reviews? Poor writing. OK acting at times. But nothing that could be considered a breakout role for anyone involved.

Yes, it's horror. The bar often feels lower. But, this film feels like a wasted opportunity at every corner. The premise itself is sort of interesting. But every reveal is a huge eye roll. The acting has moments of "hey this isn't that bad". But then the script says "nah-uh" and removes any and all credibility each character had.

The twist? There were a couple. And they barely made sense. I wouldn't be surprised if ChatGPT did 95% of the work, and the rest was edited in under an hour.

If you're like me, you'll watch it because you're a fan of the genre. But, man, it's like WOW bad at times.

The funniest part of the movie...

[laplante-co-672-297856 · 5/10 · 19 June 2023]

... is reading the 10 star reviews here from friends and families of the film makers. This movie is nowhere being a ten-star movie.

It's obvious that the film makers didn't have a big budget to work with.

Nonetheless they do a good job of working with what they got by being creative. The story deliberately limits the locations to the few required to tell the simple story. In another scene, the lead detective is speaking at the press conference. We never see a crowd of journalists and reporters though. Instead it's implied through the flash of camera lights on his face.

Call it guerrilla film making.

The acting is competent and the horror elements -- the SAW like traps, the gore effects -- are creative.

I wasn't bored, but I would never watch it again.

Rob the Drug House

[nogodnomasters · 3/10 · 16 September 2023]

Detective Grant Pierce's (Jaime M. Callica) son (Zia Newton) dies in a drug house during a raid from one of the many booby traps. He is pulled off the case. Later he attempts to uncover the gang, but gets caught on camera and gets suspended. He makes a connection with a high school street dealer (Peter Bundic) who he forces to show him the new lab location which includes traps. The kid is a member of a group that wants to rob the drug dealers at the trap house. Grant comes along as an extra man. Things don't go right.

I liked the basic idea of the plot which was executed awkwardly using lousy characters. The Trap House was low-budget and not exciting. They made Lexi (Gigi Saul Guerrero) semi-appealing with a school outfit and fishnets. But they did nothing with it.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Horrible movie

[likuidmotion · 1/10 · 2 July 2023]

Ok, so I guess people in high school are 30 now. The rest of the movie wants the pretend it's almost like Saw with horrible acting, lines, etc. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I can't even rate it on rotten tomatoes. If I could give this "movie" a negative 1000 I would. Punch yourself in the face before you watch this atrocity. And apparently my review is too short to publish. This movie sucks. It's horrible. It's terrible. Those are nice words compared to how completely awful this movie is. It's the worst movie ever made. Whoever funded this is a stupid moron. Is this enough words yet for a horrible movie?

This had some potential based on the concept and kills but the writing and acting falls short

[kevin_robbins · 4/10 · 18 June 2023]

Trap House (2023) is a movie that was recently added to Tubi. The storyline follows a police officer who finds his little brother dead in a crack jouse. He decides to take the law into his own hands and try to uncover who got his brother addicted to drugs that led to his murder. He finds a dealer that can take him to the source of the drugs; but once there, he may need to make his way through an actual trap house filled with booby traps where one wrong step will cause him to lose his head, literally.

This movie is directed by Nicholas Humphries (The Shell Collector) and stars Jaime M. Callica (Hypnotic), Peter Bundic (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Michael Eklund (The Call), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Angry Birds: Summer Madness) and Donna Benedicto (Supergirl).

This is another one of those movies with a mediocre storyline, bad acting and worse dialogue...but fantastic kill scenes, especially at the beginning and end. The police office and his investigation was fairly annoying and not a worthwhile plot. However, the booby traps in this movie were fun and well done. That opening sequence with the shotgun was tremendous. The way the traps were used to set up various scenes at the end were clever. And the final fight at the end is very good, especially if you shut the sound off and just watch and don't listen to their back and forth dialogue. Most of the fight scenes are painful, but the last one was pretty good. This has an Eacape Room feel to it in a lot of ways.

Overall, this had some potential based on the concept and kills but the writing and acting falls short. I would score this a 3.5/10 but recommend watching it once.

Roller coaster of gore and terror

[avrahmreindorf · 10/10 · 29 June 2023]

This movie is so nostalgic to the thrillers of the 80s and 90s. As a Canadian, it's great to see Jaime Callica in the lead role of a Thriller, especially since he's done awesome work with Tyler Perry's Ruthless on BET+.

As for the film itself, prepare for extreme violence and gore. If you're prone to nightmares, watch this early in the day. Some of the scenes are close-your-eyes or gasp moments. LOL

Funny enough, I was expecting Trap House to be a typical story about a drug haven in the hood, but the writers did this creatively by putting a cool spin on what we would normally consider a Trap House. Looking forward to seeing more of Jaime Callica's work in this genre.

Worth the watch!

[aprzywolski · 10/10 · 14 June 2023]

This movie brought drama, horror and true emotions. Jaime did an amazing job in his lead role and really showed up in his character. For anyone who has faced loving someone through an addiction you can really relate to the emotions Jaime shows in his character Grant as well as certain scenes in this movie. I really applaud Jaime for his work and dedication in this film because you can tell he really mastered the true feelings of loss and grief. The cast did a great job! If you want action, gore, a huge range of different emotions and an unexpected ending this is definitely your type of movie! Grab some popcorn, turn off the lights and get ready to have your body go through an adventurous wild ride.

Jaime Callica is all action

[peruluva2004 · 10/10 · 13 June 2023]

Omg! What a great movie! Jaime Callica was amazing! He has such versatility being that he's played a host of various characters. This movie is action-packed and checks off all of the boxes of every genre. Jaime Callica leads this cast with precision, drama, and fierce physicality. Viewers will be compelled to be drawn and feel each character as the story intensifies. From the very beginning, you are hooked. The movie has similarities to the Saw movies with significant blood and gore. However, there is emotional captivation to the storyline and positive moral takeaways. Can't wait for a sequel!

Jaime Callica impresses in lead debut

[ohuggon · 10/10 · 11 June 2023]

I was so drawn into this film that I couldn't look away. Jaime Callica proved that he is an action star that is ready for the big screen. In his lead role debut and makes you believe in the character and story.

This movie has action and drama with a hint or horror. At times it is not for the faint of heart, but as I said you will be so drawn into the story that you won't be able to look away.

Jaime Callica stars as a homicide detective on the hunt for a drug dealing gang with a brutal leader know for his serial killer tendency. When his brother falls victim to this killer, it becomes personal and he goes vigilante and is out for revenge.

A must watch if you are a fan of action, thrilled, suspence or police drama. I can't wait for the sequel and Jaime's next starring role.

Fights

[aydeeig · 10/10 · 18 June 2023]

Jaime callica played such a great role on this . He demonstrated his skills !! Great job !🙏🏾🙏🏾. It has some serious relaism to it and relatable to what's happening in the world today it makes us realize there are no such thing as stereotypes . It happens to all not just the "regular" type that society makes us thing . It helps us be aware of things sorrounfing us and anywhere we are in the world . It also makes us realize that there are no such thing as gender rolls when it comes to drugs because as demonstrated on this . The woman survived and to be honest she's been the boss lol . Very proud of Jaime's work in this film !! Can't wait for more .

Good? No. Entertaining? Definitely.

[dkeizer05 · 10/10 · 27 September 2023]

There seems to be some discrepancy as to whether Trap House is a 1 star movie or a 10 star movie. It is both things.

Does the plot make any sense? No. Did the actors do more than one take for any scene? No. Are there more than two sets in the movie? No. Are the traps creative? No.

On the other hand...

Will you be forced to wonder why they couldn't pay a lawn crew $35 to hit the yard of the abandoned school that they filmed at with a weed whip before shooting? Yes. Will you be questioning bizarre character choices? Yes. Is the story so dumb that it will make you feel like your brain is draining out of your ears? Yes. Is there an attic trap door that cuts a guy's head off? Yes.

I recommend it to anybody that doesn't have a stick up their but.
