Question Your Favourite Horror Film from 1988

1988 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?

Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1988 is...

Evil Dead Trap - Toshiharu Ikeda

Probably an unconventional choice, especially when considering the many other great films produced in 1988, but I simply love Evil Dead Trap.

It's mix of vicious killings, some of which are almost gialli style, and rough around the edges camerawork interspersed with black and white fractured visuals, accompanied by a varied score keeps you completely glued to the screen as the story unfolds.

The dirty locations and darkly lit corridors add menace and grime to the film and enhances the viewing pleasure greatly. The ending is fantastically mad, and in my opinion Evil Dead Trap is a definitive Japanese indy-horror, and very highly recommended.
