Deathtrap is a wonderful windup fiction machine with a few modest ambitions: It wants to mislead us at every turn, confound all our expectations, and provide at least one moment when we levitate from our seats and come down screaming.

Movie is very clever, Very amusing. Very twisty, And very meta, Well acted, Only demerits are the stagy setting, and the annoying neighbor with ESP.

This is an extremely faithful film adaptation of Ira Levin's gimmicky stage play.
