Trick 'r Treat Ratings & Reviews
- RyezooFebruary 14, 2025A new Halloween tradition! I just fell in love with this film. The interlocking stories, the direction, cinematography just perfect. Surprises at every turn and simply one of the cutest trick or treater ever! The only story that didn't click 100% successfully was the red riding hood one. Asides from that, I can't find a flaw with this movie. Hilarious and Creepy at the same time!
- jackmeatJanuary 28, 2025My quick rating - 7.5/10. How in the world did this movie sit unwatched by myself for this long? This is an instant classic for Halloween viewing for sure. The flick is an anthology movie of sorts. Each story flows within the context of the whole movie, which is all tied together throughout in such a masterful way, it is near genius. Every bit of scary stories any child in the USA has grown up hearing is reflected in the shorts of this, be it razor blades in candy, or the bus of kids off the cliff, werewolves, vampires, or anything that goes bump in the night is all fair game in this film. Michael Dougherty helms the whole shabang and does an incredible job. Each story in its isolation is instantly tied into the story as a whole in a unique way. Much to be said for the editing and continuity department in keeping this all in line. Wonderful shots of decorated homes, great casting including the ever-talented Anna Paquin and all the kids really. So much great stuff to be had in this flick. If you haven't seen it, make this top priority on your list for the next All Hallows Eve, as this movie isn't just around the Halloween holiday, but embodies everything Halloween, the day/night is. If this wasn't just an everyday review, I would get into how this movie could be the single best Halloween film ever made just because it is Halloween, whereas the movie Halloween could be any other day of the year, and still be a masterpiece. Trick 'r Treat is Halloween all the way through.
- SpoonsOctober 15, 2024“Trick ‘r Treat” is the quintessential Halloween film, a must-watch every year for any horror enthusiast. The film brilliantly weaves together multiple storylines, each with its own twist, keeping you on your toes. At the heart of it all is Sam, the adorable yet sinister spirit of Halloween, enforcing the rules of the holiday with a mixture of charm and terror. The film’s clever subversion of horror tropes, especially in a certain scene that will make you rethink everything you know about werewolves, adds depth and surprise, making it a standout in the genre. “Trick ‘r Treat” captures the nostalgic spirit of Halloween, blending childhood wonder with dark humor. If you’re a fan of horror anthologies and haven’t seen this one yet, it’s time to add it to your list.” This film will be popular with people who like Creepshow (1982), Tales of Halloween (2015), The House of the Devil (2009), and Halloween (1978), for their anthology structure, seasonal setting, and respect for Halloween traditions.
