Trick ‘r Treat neatly apportions scary and campy elements while cleverly interlacing four storylines on Halloween night in an Ohio hamlet.
By Joe Leydon FULL REVIEW
67
The idea of a Halloween-centric anthology is solid, but the subject deserves stronger material than this reheated mush.

Truco o Trato (2007) Sinopsis: Con cuatro historias entrelazadas sobre un director que se convierte en un feroz asesino cuando llega la noche, una joven universitaria que espera perder la virginidad con el amor de su vida, una mujer cuyo odio por Halloween sólo es superado por el amor que siente su esposo por la festividad y un grupo de adolescentes haciendo bromas pesadas. Opinión: Muy entretenida, con una narrativa y estructura muy inteligente de ritmo rápido y directo ademas de lograr ser fresca y escalofriante. No sé por qué me **** tanto en ver esta película, lo pasé increíble durante cada segundo. Valoración: 5 de 5

Trick r' Treat is by far my favorite anthology-type movie. It knows exactly how to pull of the kind of not-so-terrifying, not-so-not-funny mood it wants to have and manages to be both funny and scary without pulling hard on either direction and never taking itself too serious, has memorable stories and Sam is an awesome, freaky character to have a story centered around. It's the perfect watch when you want a marathon of horror movies, especially on Halloween and especially with friends.

A very clever, and interesting take on Halloween. "Trick 'r Treat" is one of the best horror anthologies to grace the genre, and one that you'll never forget.

THE DEFINITIVE Halloween must-see movie! I can't say enough good things about this movie. Great writing, well-acted, good effects, and a new movie "villain" for the ages! Just Watch It!

Trick 'r Treat. Halloween will kill everyone. Interesting and beautifully filmed, but very boring plot. One of the few films where Halloween is shown in a very interesting way. But the movie itself did not evoke any emotions. Boring and uninteresting.

Although it was enjoyable as a Halloween movie, it was a movie that I did not like very much in general. The part of the little gentleman in the poster was nice, but I can't say the same for the rest.
