Reviews:
“There are several scenes to look out for, like when a baby of only a few weeks attacks the gang, or when Roman dons a suit of armour to fight the vampire. Extremely amusing. Alberto Sciamma’s Blood Trap can’t escape its low budget origins, but what we’re left with is a very entertaining vampire movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously” Influx
“The past history between Roman and the rest of the gang wasn’t really exploited in any satisfying way. Gianni Capaldi really stole the show as Boria but relative newcomer Drew Kenney gave him a run for his money. The rest of the acting was ok – Jones’ pained character was perhaps overly melodramatic rather than realistic but he is in it so little that you could have blinked and missed it and he wasn’t really given the time to do much more with the character.” 5.5 out of 10, Taliesin Meets the Vampires
