Watch Trick 'r Treat For Free

Fresh and Exciting

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It looked amazing. From the opening titles to the beautiful flashback sequence to the stunning camera moves to the creepy monsters this all looks really good. Some of the angles were amazing and so was the movement. Subtle yet powerful sound design. This sounded amazing. A really good mix. Simple yet effective. This was really well paced. It was fast moving with lots of twists. There was never a dull moment except a few seconds that could have been shaved here and there. It wasn't that scary and thankfully it wasn't that gory. It is just a really well made horror movie with thrills throughout. Good solid thrill ride with fantastic pace. Not too extreme either!

Movies like this are not ones that I usually go for. Horror flicks are a dime a dozen these days, and it's tough to weed the good ones out of the murky mess, a task not usually worthy of my time. This year, though, I kept seeing "Trick 'r Treat" pop up on "must watch" list for scary Halloween flicks. It finally sucked me in because I was intrigued by the promise of some overlapping narratives. It seemed like an interesting way to tell some scary stories.What I found, however, was that "Trick 'r Treat" is a lame excuse of a "horror flick", offering nothing new to the genre and completely underwhelming in what it did bring to the table. Besides a couple of "jump scares", it almost put me to sleep.The promise of overlapping narratives? Technically, it did do such a thing, but in no meaningful way. I kept hoping for the narratives to all come together in the end, but nothing of the sort happens. It just kind of descends into a mess, with even the one "big reveal" coming so late and anticlimactically as to be almost laughable.Anything resemble real suspense? Nope...not here. Besides maybe two scares that will get you to jump, everything else is rather predictable or old hat.The promise of some fun moments? It looks like that might happen in the first few minutes, but even that quickly dies. A couple looks to have fun, a group of hot chicks go out on the town...and then everything fizzles. Basically, this movie can't even decide on a mood from one scene to the next.I'm glad this movie was only 82 minutes, as I likely would not have been able to stomach much more of its brand of "horror". I knew about 20 minutes in that it was taking a turn for the worse, and it only kept down that road...never recovering. Why this keeps showing up as a Halloween classic? I haven't the foggiest. Maybe because it is one of the few horror films actually set on Halloween night? That's all I can think of. The film itself offers practically no merits beside that setting.

Trick 'r Treat is a film that surprising me positively, I expected a very weak terror, most liked, I found the film interesting how is counted, full of stories that are connected, the film has a very good cast, especially Brian Cox Dylan Baker and Anna Paquin, the direction of Michael Dougherty is good, the more he makes some mistakes, the script is average, has very weak dialogues, some stories are uninteresting, I liked the plot of some stories as the Bus, the outcome of the story that has Anna Paquin found a little weak, more trick 'r Treat is a cool horror movie, can give a good scares, has a cool soundtrack and a good makeup. Note 7.1

First of all, this review may contain spoilers! :)I just finishes watching this film. IMDb put out some Children of horror article on facebook and as a fan of horror films I did go through and somehow ended up on this film. I was intrigued it has good note so wanted to watch it, but, now, after... I see I could have seen something better.First of all, this film is so random! There are several stories which are kinda related to each other but very loosely. I can not say this is a horror movie as the scenes are not really horror or particularly gore. There is some blood and some unusual creatures, but many scenes are more like a comedy and do intend to make people laugh. I did not laugh. I was more wondering what the hell?! And I am not sure if those scenes which are homage to other films are intentional or not ( Adams Family comes to mind).There are some surprising scenes - like when the dad who killed the boy by poisonous candy is walking behind his son with a big knife and you - of course - expect daddy to kill his son - only to find that the kid is making a 'pumpkin ' out of the dead kid's head ! Now, that is something! And almost in the beginning of the movie. Unfortunately, after that no real surprises ( good ones).Ah, yes, it was a surprise to see who is the driver who killed all those disturbed kids.All in all ... rather uninspiring film. I give it a four.
