hyped garbage

Admirable film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

If you love horror films, this is the one to watch. This one is off the chart scary and terrifying. This horror picture is somewhat wacky, but in a good way. It's a trillion times better than Rob Zombie's two original horror films, House Of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Both of those films are pathetic in their own ways. This film however, is dark and creepy. There is blood, but the filmmakers knew when to use the blood and when to leave certain horrors to the audiences' imaginations. This is very important for horror films. As in doing so, I don't understand why this film got mixed reviews. I know everyone has their own opinion, but to me, if you're a die hard horror fan, you'll love this one. Amazing storyline and good acting by everyone. It also stars Dylan Baker who played Dr. Connors in Spider-Man 2 and 3. He does a great job. I give my compliments to Michael Dougherty for creating this great horror film for us horror fans. Everyone who loves horror pictures should enjoy this film. I highly recommend you watch Trick 'r Treat in either late September or anytime in October, it'll give you scares, thrills, and even goosebumps.

I've always had a weakness for anthology horror films, and this is easily one of the best I've seen, presenting five short stories, all running concurrently​, on Halloween night in this small town. A seemingly normal man is a killer, trying desperately hard to bury his latest victim, while his hyperactive son interferes, and a neighbour won't mind his own business. A, quite frankly, silly story about sexy Red Riding Hood, which is the only weak link, as far as I'm concerned, in terms of storytelling, but I dug the sexy costumes. A group of kids tell a savant a story of a horrific bus accident, before playing a cruel joke on her, only to meet their demise, as the Crux of the main plot kicks in, and vengeful souls rise from the dead. A girl who is bored with Halloween must deal with Halloween obsessed boyfriend, who doesn't want to take down his glorious decorations before Halloween is over. Then, the main point to the film kicks in, as the earlier mentioned vengeful souls seek to avenge their own deaths, by going Trick or Treating at the home of same man responsible for their deaths: the earlier mentioned neighbour, who won't mind his own business, right next door to the earlier mentioned killer, and right across the street from the earlier mentioned girl, and her Halloween obsessed boyfriend. Creepy, scary, with a good sense of humour, and very well written, and with a great attention to detail, as various characters from each segment seem almost as background extras in other segments they're not involved in, only to reappear as the main characters in a later vignette. Beautifully​ filmed, with rich, vibrant, realistic colours, not overly saturated with colour filters, this looks and feels like a small town at Halloween, The lore of Halloween, its appeal, is the inspiration here, how it can be a bit of a scare, but it can also be a lot of fun, often times simultaneously, just like this movie.

One thing that instantly strikes the viewer is the format stolen from 'Creepshow'. It also becomes clear fairly quickly that this film is much worse than the one it rips off.While both films employ gratuitous violence, 'Creepshow' does it in a well conceived tongue-in-cheek manner. This film is just a load of violence that has no appeal whatsoever. The stories are not clever, they are very derivative and just a re-packaging of overused templates.Just as the violence is used in a misguided manner, so too is everything else between the violent scenes. This is particularly the case with scenes that play upon eroticism. They are very vulgar and unpleasant to watch. The film comes across as a sex-and-violence exploitation flick, and not as a clever exploration of horror fiction.And it's barely even entertaining.

SO MANY WAYS TO TAKE A LIFE. Hello Kiddies your pal the crypt-critic here,with a treat you'll love to watch on Halloween night. This is one of the greats and I heat there maybe a sequel and if so I'll see it,I hope it comes real soon. This independent horror film revolves around Four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband. The plot is not realistic,it's like a scary tale you tell your group in a campfire. The tagline is a fun little rhyme to what the movie has to offer(well except for the poison part)it makes for a good one that suits the film. The movie is so original it's own unique thing celebrating horror and Halloween. The story flows well having it make connections to some of the four stories that all around to making them about by having characters meet or die by one another.The story unfolds with action of what's going with this individual and can make it out to look like a horror comic book which is pretty cool. The points of view is through characters and action,the characters each have their own tale and the action happens through the stories which is how it all flows nicely. The settings are very appropriate for a horror film,you got a lake,Halloween store,woods, and creepy houses. The settings do sustain the mood for the film and the music helps the film in some sequences. Trick 'R Treat has all the elements of any horror film,it has vampire and werewolves,killers,creepy story,great scares,some laughs and lots of fun. I totally recommend this for Halloween. I give Trick 'R Treat a four and a half out of five.
