Best movie of this year hands down!

What a waste of my time!!!

terrible... so disappointed.

How sad is this?

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.

Oh the fun of playing records backwards to pick up on some sort of cryptic message… and there's a reason to why it's cryptic. This time it's used as a medium to the dead. Forget about seeing the names Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, as they have nothing more than small guest appearances in this 80s heavy metal horror opus. "Trick or Treat" is your by-the-numbers heavy metal teenager Eddie finds himself an outcast at school, as he's picked on by the high school jocks. To make things worse his music idol Sammi Curr had just died in a hotel fire, but the local radio DJ (Simmons) gives him an only copy of Curr's unreleased album. Upon listening to it, he plays it backwards where Curr sends a message directly to Eddie from beyond the grave. Through this he scares those you picked on him, but then he finds out that he can't control the malevolent spirit of Curr. What starts off like something that would have some sort of social commentary on the unfair image that's garnished from the hard rock scene (like the laughable phrase "rock pornography") or the obsessive nature of idolism or the freedom of expression in what you feel comfortable, but it goes on to settle for a simple junky revenge gone astray angle where it's a race against clock with some basic thrills peppered in. Nothing new, but enjoyable enough in its cheesy gimmicks where its dark edge is never sustained as it seems to have fun at its own expense. The most amusing thing happened to be Ozzy Osbourne's ironically funny cameo, in which he appears on a TV show as a reverend opposed to this sort of music. Nice little in-joke. Simmons is more so sombre in his role. Tony Fields brings a foreboding exuberance to his heavy metal star Curr, but I got more from it before he actually materialises to cause havoc. Still he crafts out a booming presence. Marc Price in the lead as Eddie is affably confident and there are likable turns by Lisa Orgolini and Glen Morgan as his friends. Doug Savant is suitably hateable and Elaine Joyce is a treat as Eddie's always concerned mother. And what is it without thrashing out the hard rock tunes --- it's a scorching soundtrack to boot with former Motorhead Eddie Clarke attached. Director Charles Martin Smith projects a crisp looking production, despite some kitschy optical work and elastically eccentric special effects. Stereotypical, but nonsensical fun.

I love a bit of cheesy, 80s heavy metal horror, but Trick or Treat, a film that seems to get a lot of love from other fans of rock/horror hybrids, just doesn't do it for me: for starters, I actually find the film a tad insulting, portraying metal fans as sociably inept dorks (as opposed to the Adonis-like lovegods that we actually are); secondly, the heavy rock soundtrack, by Fastway, is instantly forgettable—a big mistake when the plot revolves so heavily around the music; furthermore, the horror elements are lame and totally bloodless, and the film wastes its two genuine rock stars, KISS vocalist/bassist Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, in pointless cameos.The script isn't all that original either, with it's basic plot lifted from Stephen King's Carrie: teenage heavy-metal loser Eddie Weinbauer (Marc Price) gets his mitts on the only copy of the last album by his idol, recently-deceased, occult rocker Sammi Curr (Tony Fields). By playing the disc backwards, Eddie discovers that he is able to bring Sammi back from the dead, which allows hims to turn the tables on the bullies that have been tormenting him at high school. The only problem is, satanic Sammi just doesn't know when to stop, and he's planning a special appearance at the school prom...The film's best moment comes when a teen hottie listens to a tape of Curr's album on her boyfriend's Walkman, causing her to strip off before being attacked by a rubbery demon and having her ears melted; if only there had been more of this kind of outrageous silliness (and much better music; surely Simmons and Osbourne could have used their influence to get some decent tunes on the soundtrack), then I might have enjoyed this one a whole lot more. As it is, it's merely average.
