Interesting facts

The Trap is a 1985 film directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi and starring Tony Musante, Laura Antonelli, and Florinda Bolkan.

Production

The film is based on a story called ""L'Occhio" (lit. 'The Eye') written by filmmaker Francesco Barilli. Barilli intended to make the film himself, but had trouble securing backing and balked at the producers wanting Shelley Winters in the lead role. So he sold the idea to Patroni Griffi and let him produce and direct it, retitling it The Trap.

Fulci had fell ill due to a viral hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver by the end of 1984 and was unable to make the film. He later directed a similar film titled The Devil's Honey a few months after.
