Plot edit

Veteran cop Mike Turner (Robert Davi) is brought in to help solve a string of baffling satanic homicides. He soon finds himself along with Captain Hodges (John Amos) seeking to catch a murderous psycho called Bishop (Michael Ironside) who's gone on a killing spree during New Orleans' Mardi Gras. Only problem is that this killer has lost his soul to the devil and is no longer human... but a seemingly indestructible demonic being, intent on destroying the lives of everyone around Mike; and shall not stop until he has cost Mike not just his life... but his soul.

Cast edit

Critical reaction edit

Nine dead bodies. Twelve breasts. Blood-drinking. Wrist-slitting. Two bodies flung through plate-glass windows. Hooker torture. Exploding house. Four motor vehicle chases, with four crashes, explosion and fireball. Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Michael Ironside, as the you-know-who, for saying "Whose body would you like to hold next to you in bed, while the other lies rotting in a grave?" Two and a half stars. Joe Bob says check it out.[2]

Night Trap received mostly negative reviews, with El Juan Shatzer of Bloodtype Online stating that he was disappointed that the talented cast was wasted on a tepid script and flat direction by David A. Prior.[3] However Joe Bob Briggs recommended it with the above quote.
