VENUS FLYTRAP sure is one sorry excuse for a film.
The production values are awful, the lighing is harsh, or dim(variably), and the acting is on the porno-film level. In fact, VENUS FLYTRAP resembles an attempt by porno filmmakers to go legit, utilizing the same cheap equipment and sets that hardcore films use. However, these filmmakers should stay where they are; they have much to learn about real films: RULE #1 is not to start out in tedium, it detracts from all viewers interests. RULE #2 is you hire real actors. RULE #3 is that some old plot cliches are best left at the graveyard.
The plot is very reminiscent of the sleazy Italian flick THE HOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE PARK. A couple of thugs crash a yuppie party, and the more predictable events occur. There are attempts at humor(poor), gore(poor), and dramatics(abysmal).
What else can SilentG tell you, other than that VENUS FLYTRAP is one painfully dull experience. If you like suspenseless thrillers, or just really bad acting, this film is for you. All others, beware, VENUS FLYTRAP IS RELENTLESSLY BAD.
