ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

SnoopyStyle It is Halloween in the small town of Warren Valley, Ohio. These are stories of various people during that night as a mysterious childlike trick or treater lurk. Emma (Leslie Bibb) insists on taking down the Halloween decoration despite her husband's objections. School principal Steven Wilkins (Dylan Baker) kills a bratty candy stealing chubby kid. Laurie (Anna Paquin), her older sister Danielle (Lauren Lee Smith), and their two female friends arrive in town to go to a party. Laurie is teased by the others for being a virgin. Scared Rhonda rides the elevator down into a quarry and becomes the subject of a prank by four schoolmates. Mr. Kreeg (Brian Cox) is a grumpy old man who hates Halloween.There are about five stories in this movie. One is amazing. Two have great things in it. The other two are perfectly acceptable Halloween vignettes. All in all, this is solid Halloween fare. The little central character has a nice design although he may work better simply lurking in the background. It's more creepy that he exists in this cauldron of madness rather than being a killer monster. The one amazing story is Anna Paquin's little red riding hood. They totally fooled me and it's a great twist. If anything, I consider making that a more central part of the movie. Next, the elevator to the quarry is great for the elevator. It's something I've never seen or even considered before. It's an unreal idea that actually adds to the creepiness. As for Principal Wilkins, I like the chubby brat. He's very kill worthy. He's bratty and soft. As for Leslie Bibb and Brian Cox, they are functional slasher chum meat. They could be more inventive but they are perfectly fine. This is surprisingly good in a horror franchise which I know little about.

hellholehorror 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!

naraeol This year (2017) I finally caved in and watched Trick 'r Treat . . . and what a straight up boring movie it was. Not a single story was entertaining. I am perplexed that this is rated so highly and everyone seems to be crazy about it - quite honestly, it feels like they just jumped on the bandwagon because it's 'cool' to like Trick'r'Treat, same with Halloween. Sam and the dog are cute, that's the only good I can say.

sol- Several residents of a small Canadian town find themselves terrified on Halloween Eve for various reasons in this effective horror-thriller from producer Bryan Singer. 'Trick 'r Treat' is often cited as a horror anthology, however, unlike the average anthology, the tales do not play out sequentially. Rather, they overlap and intertwine with the film going back in time at key points to show that the events all occur at much the same time. While 'Trick 'r Treat' gets most of its zest from this rather novel approach to presenting an anthology, with some excellent moments as common characters appear and re-appear, the film is mostly propelled by a zany black comedy streak. Humorous incidents include a failed attempt to bury a body, a rapist getting more than he bargained for and one man's ignorance towards his wife being attacked. The interlocking tales admittedly vary in effectiveness with some pretty obvious twists and questionable performances, but generally speaking, it is an intense and intriguing ride as one waits to see how the tales will overlap. There are some pretty neat special effects in the mix too, which are kept at a minimum with Singer clearly understanding the greater terror power of the implied. Dylan Baker and Brian Cox additionally offer some classy turns as two obnoxious neighbours who take their dislike of Halloween to different extremes.
