Trick 'R Treat

Prolific director Bryan Singer takes a turn towards horror as the producer of this Halloween shocker directed by X2 and SUPERMAN RETURNS screenwriter Mike Dougherty. With four interwoven tales concerning a high-school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a college-age virgin who's saving herself for that special someone, a woman whose hatred of Halloween is only exceeded by her husband's love of the mischievous holiday, and a callous group of teens who carry out an unforgivably cruel prank, this fall frightener mixes Tarantino-style storytelling with the kind of chills that can only occur on the darkest day of the year. Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, and Leslie Bibb all star in a Halloween treat that's sure to deliver a few nasty tricks.

Starring Dylan Baker, Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Leslie Bibb, Tahmoh Penikett, Quinn Lord, Rochelle Aytes, Lauren Lee Smith, Britt McKillip, Jean-Luc Bilodeau

  • TRICK 'R TREAT is a solid reminder that mainstream horror need not be utter crap. By putting the emphasis on giving the audience a good time, Dougherty reminds that the old-fashioned spookhouse approach can still provide simple fun and thrills the old-fashioned way

  • TRICK 'R TREAT is... a trip back to the '80s when the goal was to excite and entertain, not torment you... it's the type of movie you can bring anyone to, whether it's a date or your kid

    Better than most horrors!

    This is a under-rated little horror gem if ever I saw one. A Halloween set horror taking in a few short stories brought together by characters on the same street. It reminded me of Creepshow a little bit, which is a good thing. The cast is good and has Anna Paquin and Brian Cox to lead the way! This went straight to DVD and when horror films like Sorority Row, My Bloody Valentine and Hatchet get cinema releases you have to wonder who picks these things. This movie should become a Halloween tradition like the classic John Carpenter movie and Simpsons specials!!

    Very Disappointing

    Was really let down with this one, I had such high hopes based on other peoples reviews on various websites. Watched it end of October in time for Halloween too but unfortunately it was a real disappointment. Most of it didn't make much sense, a few stories did link up, but you are left with too many questions after. One of the stories had only kids in it which felt too much like a kiddy film for my liking. A few good effects and had plenty of potential to be a really good film but as a true horror/thriller fan I was left disappointed.
