TRAP OF LUST (1973, Japan) DVD - 3/5
Called a reimagining of Seijun Suzuki's 'Branded to Kill', it's more like, the writer of 'Branded to Kill' took some of the bare bones story and crammed it into a Roman Porno. But whereas Branded to Kill had its own quirky charm to it, THIS has more of a sinister quirk to it, and that's not a bad thing.
Our protagonist isn't likable at all, except when you see what he's up against - a creepy guy in a weird make-up and oversized trench coat that carries around a midget sized life-like doll (with a weird mask), who kill and rape in not so pretty ways. We first see these two - I mean - we THINK it's two people at first - you're not sure - as you see them through a keyhole from the protagonist's point of view - as they torture and rape some girl.
I have to admit, I was intrigued by it, despite being a little creeped out. You WANT to watch, because you're not sure what weird shit is going to happen next.
A pleasant surprise as a part of my ARROW Branded to Kill Blu-ray!
Well, maybe pleasant isn't the word I was looking for...
