Reception

The Korea Herald: Deep Trap may not be exciting or thrilling in the traditional sense, but its persuasive depiction of crimes that seem plausible in real life makes it one of the more frightening films to hit the box office this year.[4]

www.koreanfilm.org: Deep Trap ultimately does not rise above the level of a conventional thriller, but is otherwise a decent nail-biter graced with good to excellent performances, and is recommended to fans of the genre.[5]

HanCinema's William Schwartz: As a genre film, Deep Trap does what it does well. There's not very much deep material to chew on, but so what? Ma Dong-seok himself chews the scenery all right, and that's good enough for me.[6]
