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 quite unexcitingly, which is quite a shame. The story then unfolds terribly draggingly and there is no significant surprise here, because the logic of the whole story is simply flawed. The main character, a man who investigates everything, is not very pleasant and I was rather bothered by his approach and personality. "Trauma" still has some elements that can captivate and thanks to them it is not an average film.
