Critic Reviews

  • Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times

    Dennis Bartok writes this lackluster anthology of four juvenile horror stories dripping with sexual dread and goofball gore.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Gross-out comedy about male discomfort with female sexuality dominates this horror anthology scripted by Dennis Bartok.

  • Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

    With its gore-comix sensibility and self-conscious flashes of nudity, Trapped Ashes clunks along, and (to be completely petty) never really overcomes its clunky title.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    Pairing cult directors with macabre omnibus material is always a tasty proposition, but the results disappoint in Trapped Ashes, a quartet of mildly sexed-up, unscary horror tales with a unifying wraparound story.

  • Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter

    Only fitfully entertaining.

    Woa. Talk about some twisted crap. A handful of interesting ideas, but also several scenes which had me wanting to puke (an uncommon thing for me). I guess some people enjoy movies with vampire breasts and molesting tape worms...but not this guy.

    Boring, Bad Acting, Poorly Filmed, this film just isn't that great. There's not one thing that caught my attention, not one. I didn't really like this film, and thought some parts were just..too..."fake." Skip it!

  • Leo L


    Quite good! Here is one that is definitely worth seeing. Interesting cast.

  • Christopher B


    Ho hum anthology film where some great directors are given sub par material to work with. The script brings this stuff down to below amateur level.
