Review of Trick 'r Treat (2007) by Francisco G — 10 Sep 2013
It's downright criminal that such a wonderfully well crafted Halloween themed flick like this went straight into the shelves, while countless remakes and Saw XXV is on the local theatre for 5 weeks in a row.
Trick r Treat is an anthology horror flick, like anthologies oughta be make. The stories cross each other in creative ways, always leaving some neat easter eggs here and there. Better yet, the movie never takes itself too seriously, having superb moments of dark humor, on the verge of becoming unconfortable but never derailing into exploitation territory. It's surprising and very well crafted from the visuals, to the editing, to the dialogues, barely having any dull moment around.
Michael Dougherty had immense passion for this project and that transpires really well to the viewer. It's just a shame that it didn't have the reception it should've. Really looking forward to his next projects either straight to video or not.
