Just perfect...

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I have loved the movie the first time I saw it and I still love it after 30 years. It helps when you are a Metal fan (will add to the fun), but you do not have to be. The movie is (sadly) a rather rare example for a perfect combination of music, high school fun/action, horror and a great message: the message being Eddie, who is the bullied Heavy Metal fan who has our sympathy and every right to take revenge on his bullies and yet shows the most integrity and morals. A fun high school, horror music ride for everybody who loves the 80ies or ever was/is being bullied or has a heart for the ones being bullied/the underdogs - come on, you must (at least) love the first (rather harmless) acts how Eddie is taking revenge! And though the cameos of Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne are great, there is so much more to the movie than these scenes. Great fun. And though there are some parallels to the equally great/enjoyable 976 Evil and Brainscan, there has never been a movie like Ragman again, it's a shame, would have made more sense then Saw 6340... Go watch it and enjoy.

Sammi Curr was a famous, devil-worshiping rock star who died under mysterious circumstances. Now he wants to come back to life. Doing so requires possessing radio waves and automobiles and making a few human sacrifices.I was not familiar with this film, and had no idea what it was about. Today, if you say "Trick or Treat", people will think of "Trick 'r Treat", if they know their horror films at all. But right from the start, I liked what was going on here, a rock and roll horror film set in the heavy metal 1980s when rock went head to head with the PMRC.Unfortunately, the film does not quite live up to the early promise, and is not helped by some irritating music. (I like heavy metal, but some of the tracks on here are awful.) We get a story that is a bit like "Shocker" and a bit like "Rock and Roll Nightmare", though very much its own story... worth a peek, though perhaps not the lost treasure I wish I was.

The only thing that kept the movie going was it's connection with 80's metal. Trick or treated will always be among my top 5 "Worst movies ever made." I mean I am a orthodox 80's traditional metal fan, but still the movie failed to appeal to me. Average acting, a very stupid plot, Sammy Curr looks more like a loser Zombie than a metal god.But, the sole thing that really widened my eyes was EDWARD'S ROOM, a treat to any metal head's eyes. I bet my own arse THAT EXACTLY is the dream abode of any metal fan (ain't talking for you BFMV, Slipknot, Djent fans). Every thing about his room is swell, right from his stereo system, magazine collection, toys and antiques here and there. . And this guy had SOME posters man, Anthrax, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Alcoholica, dot dot dot. .And Jezz ! He owned Unveiling the Wicked (Exciter) and Killing is my Business in vinyl. . He's one lucky chap.And yes, the sound track is kick arse, all hail Fastway.

I believe the soundtrack had the rocker band called "Fastway"? They rocked the sounds. with guest stars Ozy, and others, it was worth watching. Fastway is an under rated band of the 80s. Had some good moving the record backwards to hear the devils warning. basic kid is not understood by parents, puts music and rock n roll above all else, has his room decorated to the max in rock n roll, the movie was alright, the stars were better, and the music, soundtrack was perfect. well worth checking out, and if you haven't heard of fastway, and you like heavy metal of the 80's, your missing out on an important part of the 80's.
