“In The Trap” (**1/2 out of four) was a better-than-average horror thriller about a reclusive proof reader (Jamie Paul) who is too tortured and terrified of an unknown evil force and has stayed inside his apartment for over two years but a mysterious priest (David Bailie) thinks he may have the answers to unlock the demons and evil and set him free. Yes, it’s one more horror movie about religion and exorcisms and a haunted house but it’s better made than most and is directed with some craft and style by Allesio Liguori. Ultimately done in by familiar horror movie conventions and cliches but still good of its kind. Massimiliano Mechelli’s rich music score and Luca Santagostino’s elegant cinematography are definite plusses.
