Trauma is Argentine director León Klimovsky’s final feature; sadly, it is not one of his more interesting films. … The pacing is glacial, the characters are laughably transparent, and there’s very little suspense evident. What the film does offer is exploitation value—a lot of it. Virtually the entire cast disrobes at one point or another. … It’s all quite ridiculous, of course, but Klimovsky and his collaborators appear determined to give the thrill-hungry audience what it wants. … Still, all the sex and gore in the world can’t make up for a distinct lack of atmosphere, tension and suspense. The film feels terribly padded and lacks the sense of gusto, which Klimovsky brought to his earlier giallo, A Dragonfly for Each Corpse (1975).
