Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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

So I finally saw the horror film that has been recommended to me for years. Trick 'r Treat. It had been described to me fairly well and I already had a feeling I would like Sam (A play on the spelling of Samhain, The literal spirit of Halloween) before it even started but it exceeded my expectations. I had seen parts of it before on things like Syfy, such as the segment with the stingy old man (who turned out to be a certain bus driver).I was pleasantly surprised. Sam is definitely on my list of favorite new classic monsters. Right up there with Freddy Krueger. It felt like a 1980s horror film (in a very good way). The effects were mostly practical and I noticed subtle homages like Rosaleen's version of the Red Riding Hood dress in The Company of Wolves. I really liked Trick 'r Treat. It's unique, creative, and yet familiar and in my opinion it's far more worthy of being a Halloween tradition than the Saw franchise.

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

I chose to watch this movie because I thought it would be frightening or it would have a twisted plot. This movie was instead boring and everything looked very fake during the "frightening" parts. It had many "earlier" and "later" parts which were pretty confusing and I believe that most of the scenes weren't associated with each other. I understand that some thrillers aren't supposed to scare you but only to make you feel anxious and nervous about what is going to happen ,but this film didn't make me feel either way. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone, I would only suggest you to watch it if you are in the mood to laugh and make fun of the characters! This is only my opinion and according to my taste in thriller movies I would choose to watch "the conjuring 2 " or "dead silence" which I find nice horror movies. Ι hope I helped with this review of mine and I would like to apologize if I made any grammar or syntax mistake, because I don't speak English very well.
