'''Evil Dead Trap''' revolves a late-night Japanese reporter named Nami that receives a snuff film in the mail among the various other videos fans send in to appear on her show. Wanting to uncover the perpetrator herself, Nami grabs her coworkers/friends to the abandoned factory where the video was sent from. Of course, they all eventually end up getting killed.

Despite the fact that the name may remind people of a [[Franchise/EvilDead certain other horror franchise]], this is not a case of TranslationMatchmaking - the original Japanese title (Shiryo no Wana / 死霊の罠) literally translates to "Evil Dead Trap", so this is instead a case of SimilarlyNamedWorks (note: no, it doesn't. Shiryo just means a ghost, literally "death spirit", so "evil" is nowhere in the original title).
