For his first full-length American production, Italian master of horror Dario Argento (Suspira, The Card Player) delivered the grisly shocker about a disturbed young woman (daughter Asia Argento of XXX and Land of the Dead) who escapes from a sinister rehab clinic, the ex-addict (Christopher Rydell) who becomes her lover and protector, and a string of brutal decapitations by a serial killer called 'The Headhunter.' From its startling opening murders to its horrific final twist, experience one of Dario Argento's most surprising films as you witness all the uncensored horror of Tramai. (official distributor synopsis)

Trauma is Dario Argento’s first Hollywood opus and it’s not bad at all. It’s a respectable, made-to-order compromise for those who demand a plot that makes sense while also having a taste for a veil of mystery and psychedelic masochism.

The ending of the film is presented in a rather uninteresting way, which is quite a pity. The story then feels terribly drawn-out, and there isn't even any significant surprise because the logic of the whole story simply falters. The main character, the man who investigates everything, isn't very likable, and I found his approach and personality rather off-putting. Nevertheless, Trauma has some elements that make it interesting and do not make it a mediocre film.
