Based on the first two EVIL DEAD TRAP FILMS, I was expecting (and hoping) that this third entry would be a suitable gore-fest with probably a confusing plot and a bunch of weird sh!t happening. I actually got the exact opposite. EVIL DEAD TRAP 3 is actually a very straight-faced mystery/thriller, which is OK I guess...but I was really hoping this film would help fill my gore-quotient for the week...
A school-teacher is being investigated after one of his previous students commits suicide after claiming to be carrying his baby. Turns out, another student disappeared five years prior under much the same circumstances, but was never found. At the same time, in a seemingly unrelated case, a human torso has turned up in a locale that is familiar to the teacher. A female cop and her partner tail the teacher in hopes of determining if the teacher has something to hide, or if it's just a string of bizarre coincidences. It's also rumored that the teacher's wife went a bit nuts after his first affair was found out, and the cops would like to get a look at her too. As the story unfolds, things aren't quite what they may seem - but are also somewhat predictable as the storyline seems to follow the general "mystery" conventions that many films of that genre do...
The storyline of EVIL DEAD TRAP 3 is relatively interesting, but it seems to feel dragged-out after a while. I was SEVERELY disappointed in the level (or I guess I should say "non-level") of gore in this film, because the previous two EDT entries were pretty splattery. I can't honestly say that I got a whole lot out of this entry. As a mystery/thriller it's very average - as a splatter film it's nothing...not a terrible film but I can't recommend it real highly either - and if you've seen the first two and are expecting more of the same...forget it...6/10
