Trick 'r Treat [Blu-ray] Overview
A creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year from producer BRYAN SINGER (director of X-Men and Superman Returns) and writer-director MICHAEL DOUGHERTY(co-scripter of X2 and Superman Returns). Trick ’R Treat takes the Creepshow/Tales from the Crypt approach to nefarious new depths with four interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a high school principal (DYLAN BAKER) moonlights as a vicious serial killer; the quest of a young virgin (ANNA PAQUIN) for that special someone takes a gruesome turn; a group of teens carries out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences; and a cantankerous old man (BRIAN COX) battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.
Trick 'r Treat [Blu-ray] Specifications
Trick 'r Treat, directed by Michael Dougherty of Superman Returns fame, has a comic book feel but does a nice job of conveying the real things that can spook kids, making for a good Halloween thriller. Composed of four intertwined stories that unfold simultaneously, starting on the same block in Ohio, Trick 'r Treat initially bears some resemblance to John Carpenter's Halloween, in that it focuses on terrors experienced by teens and young, costumed children. As the short tales become increasingly violent and complex, one begins to see that many culprits are responsible, and that a general haunting of all neighborhood jack-o'-lanterns is the root cause of some gory crimes. For example, in one segment, Emma (Leslie Bibb), against the wishes of her husband, Henry (Tahmoh Penikett), blows out a candle in her jack-o'-lantern and pays dearly as her night unfolds. Meanwhile, Laurie (Anna Paquin of True Blood), a young woman dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, goes to the woods to party with her sister and two girlfriends, attracting a stalker whose smile alone is creepy enough to startle a slumber party crowd. The two stories starring younger kids carry the film, however. In one, elementary-schooler Charlie (Brett Kelly) meets with the demented school principal, Steven (Dylan Baker), who assesses Charlie's love of stealing candy and thrashing pumpkins. At the same time, a witchy nerd named Rhonda (Samm Todd) is invited to join a young gang at an abandoned rock quarry and faces the mean gang leader, Macy (Britt McKillip), after a prank goes awry. "Earlier" or "Later" periodically flash onscreen in comic-book typeface, successfully directing the viewer through time and also relieving some tension that would've built through a single sustained story. In this, light comedy and some downright silliness shine through. All the kids are in great costumes, and the film, overall, has a festive goth look. By the end, one trusts that Trick 'r Treat is really targeting the younger age group that it highlights, yet it contains enough spook to make adults jumpy as well. --Trinie Dalton
Horror Movies Customer Reviews
Writer / director Michael Doughery of "Trick 'r Treat" (2007), is a wonderful anthology of short stories that will make Halloween scary all afraid. In the tradition of "Tales from the Crypt"; s Stephen King / George A. Romero '"Creepshow" (1982), and "Tales of Terror" (1976), we have:
~ A couple who like Halloween. When the wife sees a "Michael Myers"-as the masked figure on the street, she gets scared, only to meet his death on the other hand, as a creature Lateran Jack O 'Watches on;
~ The story that an overweight boy stealing candy from candy-loving Steven, (Dylan Baker), a respected teacher by day, by night, he's a serial killer, while Red Riding Hood, Anna Paquin, "The Piano", ( 1993), "X-Men trilogy" and "True Blood" TV series, and his friends are in town. When a man pretending to be a vampire 'true', he gets more of what business during Halloween, as the O'Latern Jack makes another appearance;
~ In the third story, a girl tellshis friends the story of a bus driver who makes a pact with the parents of their child 'distubed' to kill them, but when one of the boys (dressed as Dracula), overtakes the bus, and plunges into the sea, driver survives with difficulty. As a girl freaks out when his friends pretend to be ghosts of children, leaving them to their death, as you see the same Jack O 'Lateran, as she pulls a cart down the street;
~ The fourth story is about an elderly man (Brian Cox), "Manhunter" (1986);"The Ring" (2002) and "Zodiac" (2007), who sees Steven in the courtyard. Like his neighbor, who hates Halloween. When he tries to kill Jack O 'Lateran, (who just wants his way), you get so scared that he will do anything to stay alive.
In the end, the story ends as the beginning: The couple talk on the street, she does not die, the old knock on the door. He gives out candy, then get another fear, as the Lateran Jack O 'has finished its work on Halloweennight.
I give the movie five stars. Highly recommended.
The DVD also has Michael Doughtery's short film "Seasons Greetings" (2006) that the O'Latern Jack goes make-up and treatment on the doors of peoples' only to be killed by a man who hates Halloween.
"Trick 'r Treat" is R for strong violence and adult themes.
Lots of imagination, nowhere to go with it - Inspector Gadget - On the trail of Doctor ClawIf you're a comic-book horror anthologies like Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt then you'll definitely like Trick 'R Treat. Although more cohesive and independent of the number of stories above 'Trick' R Treat can not finish as fondly remembered.
Four stories with a beginning serial murder, a virgin desperate, bullying adolescents, and an old man and are only linked by a recurring demonic character named Sam, apparently a child with a bag overhead. Sounds interesting, but almost nothing is explained and the existence of all elements is the most imaginative missed everything. It 's like the filmmakers had a lot of great ideas, but absolutely no basis for them.
Still, it's very shiny, full of atmosphere, slightly disturbing and sometimes funny. A movie every fan of horror should get for cheap.
The Blu Ray has a big impact with a 2.40:1 1080p image design decent Dolby TrueHD. There are severalabundant.
Worthless Don't waste your time on this one... - C. Gutierrez - San Antonio, Texas United StatesJust got the Blue Ray "TRICK'R Treat" What a waste of time and money.
