Highlight of Japanese horror and shock cinema —scarecrow.com
A very dark and dreamlike tale of murder, madness and possession that would do Argento and Cronenberg proud —horrorview.com
For those fans of bizarre cinema, this will be a treat... —creature-corner.com
Loaded with gore and stylish visuals, Evil Dead Trap 2 (originally Shiryo no wana 2: Hideki ) is more erratically paced than its companion film and feels a bit closer to arthouse territory. The performers are all good despite the sketchy nature of their characters, and director Hashimoto (the man behind one of the Guinea Pig films, Lucky Sky Diamond) displays a solid sense of how to execute a gore scene for maximum impact. —Mondo Digital
This sequel in name only is vastly different and features a very bizarre blend of gory slashings by disturbed female characters, a creepy child-ghost that may or may not be behind all the strange behavior, nightmarish surreal sequences, and sleazy perversions. —The Worldwide Celluloid Massacre
Offers intensely stylish visuals... dream-like atmosphere —Hong Kong Digital
