Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Northtribe3 **This review may contain spoilers** Linda (Jacqueline Giroux) is working as a babysitter for one of the most irritating kid (the son of the director by the way) I've ever seen on film. She does this only because the parents of the kid has a lot of money and she thinks she is going to get a pretty large amount of money for it. But what turns out as a nightmare by babysitting this annoying kid turns out even worse when a mental patient has escaped and he sets his goal towards the very same house that Linda and the kid is in. The mental patient does this to get his revenge on his ex-wife that sent him away to the "looneyhouse" several years earlier.Now this has to be one of the most boring films I've ever seen and that's simply because the pacing is so damn awful and the acting is absolutely horrendous. The only thing I was waiting for was at least one interesting death scene but not even that. It takes about 1 hour before the maniac arrives at the house and I just wanted someone to get rid of the damn kid.You do not care about any of the characters simply because there is barely any backstory to any of them not even the killer himself! If you wanna see about 4 minutes of David Carradine and 2 minutes of Steve Railsback sure there you go but there is not anything else to find interesting here... 1/10
trishaade Seriously????? I had to look at the IMDb category to make sure this wasn't a comedy. It's billed as horror. I knew from the opening scenes this one was gonna be an eye roller.The problem is that it isn't funny in a good way. The movie suffers from bad acting (with no exceptions), too much padding, a bad script and bad lighting. Nuff said.The babysitter is the worst case of a caretaker I've ever seen and the charge she's watching will start running your nerves in short order. She's quite inept for an older babysitter and its hard to feel anything for her but contempt. Would I recommend? Nope.
WarpedRecord I'm not sure why this movie is titled "Trick or Treats" instead of "Trick of Treat," but the filmmakers obviously didn't put much thought into the title or the rest of the film, for that matter. They could have named it "Halloween," but of course, that title was taken. Then again, the "Halloween" plot was taken also, but that didn't stop the filmmakers from lifting that.The plot involves a young woman babysitting for a practical joker on Halloween. The boy's father has escaped from a mental institution and returns home to terrorize his ex-wife, who committed him. Are the strange noises and phone calls to the babysitter the result of a crazed lunatic, or just the 10-year-old's pranks? Does the mental patient even realize his ex-wife is out for the evening? Do we care?The film has absolutely no suspense, the scenes are disjointed and choppy, and the performances are uniformly bad. Even Steve Railsback, normally a commanding presence in B-movies, phones in his performance literally. This cheap "Trick" has nothing to distinguish it from the crowded field of forgettable '80s slasher flicks. Like the rotten apple at the bottom of a Halloween candy bag, "Trick or Treats" is best trashed and forgotten.
Freya(sableOnBlond) the-real-roobeemoon Ok , I wanted to like this flick, really I did. But ...it is too hard to even remotely like... I had read about this movie and it sounded quite interesting. Also I found it had orginally been released as a Halloween gift to American Movie theaters. I went to the video store to find it. The cover looked pretty decent - depicting a ripped Trick Or treats bag with something bloody scratching its way out...So I said to myself , gotta see this. What a joke!!! I believe I didnt even see the end , thats bad. The beginning started out a tiny bit interesting - and im thinking this is leading up to something awful... Yeah RIGHT! What a Halloween nightmare alright. An utterly depressing JOKE! Just when you think something may happen or you are going to see something , anything gruesome - the gore youve been waiting for - BOOM - its completely DARK - and you can not see a dang thing! Complete - Halloween - DISASTER... Totally upsetting Boo Hoo
