Trick r’ Treat (2009)
What? A NEW movie? Yuppers, Trick r’ Treat just finally came out on DVD and it’s the best new horror film I’ve seen in a long time.
Trick r’ Treat is actually an anthology film of 4 stories all tied together almost seamlessly. One constant in each story is a mysterious little boy in an odd Halloween costume named Sam who seems to be everywhere. (As a sort of physical manifestation of Halloween.) There’s revenge from beyond the grave, kids get eaten, serial killers, monsters and all kinds of fun goodies in this flick.
The thing I loved most about this movie is that while there are other films that take place during Halloween, Trick r’ Treat is the first one I can think of that actually celebrates the holiday. In fact I would say that this is THE definitive Halloween film. In addition to all this the acting is good, the dialogue witty, the direction smart and a wonderfully creepy atmosphere is maintained throughout the films proceedings. (Although the film has a great sense of humor as well.)
I could go on but I really don’t want to ruin any of the surprises for you. If I had to recommend only one movie this year for Halloween it would be this one. It’s a great movie that you can enjoy whether you’re a horror fan or not and the fact that it’s new rather than old helps to make it appealing to all audiences. If you haven’t seen it, GO BUY IT OR RENT IT NOW!
Rating – 8 ½ out of 10
