Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
WubsTheFadger 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
pesic-1 One thing that instantly strikes the viewer is the format stolen from 'Creepshow'. It also becomes clear fairly quickly that this film is much worse than the one it rips off.While both films employ gratuitous violence, 'Creepshow' does it in a well conceived tongue-in-cheek manner. This film is just a load of violence that has no appeal whatsoever. The stories are not clever, they are very derivative and just a re-packaging of overused templates.Just as the violence is used in a misguided manner, so too is everything else between the violent scenes. This is particularly the case with scenes that play upon eroticism. They are very vulgar and unpleasant to watch. The film comes across as a sex-and-violence exploitation flick, and not as a clever exploration of horror fiction.And it's barely even entertaining.
Miguel Neto Trick 'r Treat is a film that surprising me positively, I expected a very weak terror, most liked, I found the film interesting how is counted, full of stories that are connected, the film has a very good cast, especially Brian Cox Dylan Baker and Anna Paquin, the direction of Michael Dougherty is good, the more he makes some mistakes, the script is average, has very weak dialogues, some stories are uninteresting, I liked the plot of some stories as the Bus, the outcome of the story that has Anna Paquin found a little weak, more trick 'r Treat is a cool horror movie, can give a good scares, has a cool soundtrack and a good makeup. Note 7.1
Bob An First of all, this review may contain spoilers! :)I just finishes watching this film. IMDb put out some Children of horror article on facebook and as a fan of horror films I did go through and somehow ended up on this film. I was intrigued it has good note so wanted to watch it, but, now, after... I see I could have seen something better.First of all, this film is so random! There are several stories which are kinda related to each other but very loosely. I can not say this is a horror movie as the scenes are not really horror or particularly gore. There is some blood and some unusual creatures, but many scenes are more like a comedy and do intend to make people laugh. I did not laugh. I was more wondering what the hell?! And I am not sure if those scenes which are homage to other films are intentional or not ( Adams Family comes to mind).There are some surprising scenes - like when the dad who killed the boy by poisonous candy is walking behind his son with a big knife and you - of course - expect daddy to kill his son - only to find that the kid is making a 'pumpkin ' out of the dead kid's head ! Now, that is something! And almost in the beginning of the movie. Unfortunately, after that no real surprises ( good ones).Ah, yes, it was a surprise to see who is the driver who killed all those disturbed kids.All in all ... rather uninspiring film. I give it a four.
