TRICK'R TREAT is a horror comedy anthology film from 2007. The four stories take place on Halloween night. Each of the stories is a standalone tale with the exception of the appearance of Sam in each tale; showing up when the rules of Halloween are broken. I enjoyed all of the stories and the bookends included at each end of the film.
TRICK'R TREAT is a fun movie. I always include it in every Halloween horror movie marathon that I do every year. There was some talk of a sequel but so far nothing has materialized. I have not come across any rumors of a sequel lately either. One one hand, I think that is great because they have not tried to turn this into a franchise by quickly releasing a follow up movie of questionable quality. On the other hand, I think it is unfortunate that there have been no follow up films. CREEP and CREEP 2 have shown you can have several films years apart and maintain the quality. I think TRICK'R TREAT could do the same thing. If a sequel is never filmed I will still be happy with one very good film.
Trick 'r Treat sets a very high bar for anthology films. I can't think of one that does interweaving plots better.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's hard to weave all the stories together in an effective and interesting way but Trick'r Treat does so better than any other anthology film I can think of at the moment.
DeleteYay! I talk about this one, too!! And, I mean, I love it. We have watched it several times, and will watch it again and again. It is just one of those movies.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite horror films and I wish they would add another entry BUT they don't have to; it works perfectly as a stand-alone.
