A rousing 1982 actioner about the quest to recover a valuable jade antique. The stolen antique has been hidden in the eponymous "House of Traps", a booby trap-laden pagoda from which no one has ever escaped alive. Expect plenty of exotic weaponry, powerful fisticuffs, and above all copious bloodletting as Chang Cheh guides the Venoms through undeniably one of their most popular Shaw Brothers outings!

This is a nice older Asian film that shows how crazy the ideas were and how well they managed to execute them. The house full of traps is beautifully brutal, yet it's not excessively bloody, just enough to be tolerable. The choreography here is dance-like, which I like, though it may put some people off. A B-movie that's worth remembering.
