Quite Awful - The Deadly Trap review by JG
I'm not sure how this film crept onto my list and I wish it hadn't. It's worse than I can describe. Pointless, aimless, pretentious, meaningless, boring are words that come to mind. I gave up after 45 mins but it was going absolutely nowhere. How it ever got to be made is a mystery. René Clément is now on my list of directors to avoid at all costs.
