Best movie ever!
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
It's a Halloween movie. It's kitschy. Halloween can be kitschy. It's not a horror movie. Horror movies are not usually Halloween movies. Halloween movies aren't just about horror. The imagery alone in this film just FEELS like October.
Literally the worst film I've ever seen, not just the worst horror, just film in general. Not scary, story line doesn't make sense and so much more could have been done with the concept of the film! Absolutely ridiculous and wouldn't recommend wasting your time watching it, honestly. If you're looking for a background film to just kill the time then maybe , but if you're looking for a good, interesting film or even just a scary film I would not recommend this to anyone, there are millions of other films I'd rather watch than watch this again. If you are looking for a good Halloween themed film, stick to the real originals, like Halloween itself don't try not think outside the box and watch something like this because you're wasting nearly 2 hours of your life.
I, as well as I'm sure many of you, became interested in investing 88 minutes of my time to watch this movie based solely on the reviews that I had read on this site. Review after review, claiming this to be; THE GREATEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE OF ALL-TIME, THE GREATEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE OF THE LAST 20 YEARS, and THE GREATEST HORROR MOVIE TO NEVER HIT THEATERS EVERYWHERE. How could this movie possibly fall short of at least being worth my time??? Trust me, IT DOES!This movie takes a terrible stab (yes, pun intended) at the old, "multiple stories that intertwine into one," story telling model. Sounds great, right? WRONG! It felt to me, as if somebody was sitting around watching PULP FICTION and thought, "Hey, I could do that with a low budget Horror movie," but failed miserably.Not one of the five stories that this movie attempts to intertwine into one, did I connect with in any way. Not one character in this movie, did I feel any emotional attachment with or interest in. Not once did I feel myself tense up, or brace for a moment of scare. Not once was I scared. And not once when the movie was trying to tell an interwoven story, did I feel that the writing was anything but desperate.To me, Trick R Treat was a sad attempt to create an interwoven story out of multiple story lines that were poorly constructed. I love B-Horror. I truly do. So you can imagine my excitement when I found a B-Horror movie that was being called THE GREATEST HALLOWEEN FILM IN 20 YEARS! However, this move was an absolute swing and a miss!
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.
