Review of Trick 'r Treat (2007) by Michael V — 15 Nov 2011
This is about as much of a horror movie as was any of the episodes of Tales from the Crypt. Nothing scary or a whole lot of gore. That being said it is still one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
It doesn't even try to be scary. It's like the Pulp Fiction of horror. You get various stories and characters that through one twist of fate or another interact with each other on Halloween night.
Plus it's all told out of context. The reason it's good is, because it truly captures the essence of Halloween. It's all about being a kid on Halloween and hearing urban legends, and following Halloween traditions.
On top of that the effects look great. There's no CGI at all, and it makes the movie more authentic. The setting also helps. It feels like a real neighborhood that just happens to get supernatural events on Halloween.
The only way you should hate this movie is if you are a Jehovah's Witness. But if you are a fan of both horror and Halloween this is a sure bet.
