Borserie

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, the films story is an anthology which has various story's that intertwine in a very clever and smart way. The story's are not that scary but do have some dark humor that is often hilarious. Some of the story's are stronger then other while a few of the story's are a little weak. All in all, this film does a great job connecting all of the story's.The acting is all around good. Dylan Baker, Anna Paquin, and Leslie Bibb all perform well. Brain Cox gives the best performance near the end. He displays so much emotion ad is an understated talent.The pacing can be a little slow in some of the story's but it is mostly fast. the runtime is very short. the film is only one hour and twenty-two minutes.The gore and use of practical effects is great. I just wish that this film was scarier.Pros: Good use of the anthology system, connecting story's, good acting, Brain Cox's performance, good use of dark humor, and a short runtimeCons: Some weak story's, some weak acting, slow pacing in some story's, and the film is not that scaryOverall Rating: 6.3

Was a little skeptical at first of seeing Trick r Treat with all that multiple stories concept but finally saw it and it was literally a treat to watch. All the stories are nicely executed. Every story is a different take to represent that horror element. The movie may seem at first to be no more than a simple horror story/stories but give it some time and you will be welcomed with some of the most surprising twists you have ever seen. Never bored once throughout the movie.Really it's one of those stand out movies of its genre. A great movie experience.

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.

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.
