Anakin L Jan 29, 2019 Stephen David Brooks sits behind the yolk of the shrewdly presented Flytrap, a wonderfully weird science fiction-horror hybrid that utilizes a full understanding of craft to effectively defy the high-budget expectations consumers have been conditioned to expect within blockbuster genres. Brooks' film tells the tale of an English astronomer who finds himself in that always-weird middle ground between hostage-taking and love-making. Veering slightly more towards science fiction than its horror elements would have you believe, Brooks enters that highly competitive and arguably constipated arena and leaves victorious after displaying all the tools inherent in great indie storytelling: He's kept his volume of characters and shooting locations efficiently minimized, and what remains instead are great actor performances within a cohesiveness of set design that together empower his clever story to be told well. Flytrap plays on the mind with great effectiveness. It's a mood-shifter film that brings us to a different mental space that the one we first entered with popcorn in hand. Ultimately, it's an engrossing film and no doubt will find serious devotees within its wider audience. See more

Draco L Jan 22, 2019 FLYTRAP is a low budget film, no doubt about that, but if you watch this film with that in mind it's really enjoyable! Of course you can't compare every flick out there with Hollywood, but is that needed? And do we even want that? I enjoyed the filmmaker's effort to create a different kind of sci fi film. It is unique and scary at times. Give it a try! See more

Poe W Jan 20, 2019 Classic science fiction story with a creative concept. The film was entertaining and well executed. Highly recommended!

Harry R Jan 10, 2018 ohmygosh; i couldn't finish it. the acting is horrific -- & not in a good way.

Theodore W Nov 26, 2017 There's something ambitiously simplistic about Brooks' Flytrap. Rather than overreaching with a small budget, the writer/director wisely chose to create a contained thriller that never tries to be more than it is, but always feels urgent. Though there aren't many characters in this film, Flytrap manages to make our entire planet feel at stake - an impressive feat when you consider that high dollar blockbusters that depict our planet actually being destroyed rarely elicit the same response.
