Was it worth the wait? Did you pick up the Blu-ray or DVD release of Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat? After listening to us tell you how awesome it was for two straight years, does it live up to the hype? write your own review and tell all of Bloody Disgusting what YOU thought. The film features four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; and a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

I loved the stories and how they intertwined with eachother, but I expected a little more. Not saying I didn't like it, but if you are going to be like Creepshow....blow my mind like Creepshow. http://hugemovienerd.blogspot.com/

Overrated as hell. At times it was stupid. When it FINALLY ended, I let out a big wtf, thats what all the fuss was about? Lame

Why is it bad some thought it overrated? I pretty much agree with ghengis and tearsdontfall7113. While it is overall entertaining and sometimes creepy it ain't all that. Certainly not the "Greatest This Since..." or "Best That in the Last..." I enjoyed it and loved how the stories were interwoven as opposed to being distinct segments ala Creepshow but felt no genuine thrills or scares and apart from Anna Paquin's storyline, knew where each conclusion was heading. Good movie still worthy of my buying but far from great.

Instant Classic! Very seldom does a film instantly make it to my Halloween list of Horror films Trick R Treat makes the list and moves to second. Best Horror Anthology since Creepshow!!!

Resembling a graphic novel in sequencing, Michael Dougherty's "Trick 'r Treat" is a near great film that begs the question to why it was handled so incompetently. In days where the sorry "Saw" franchise seems to be the most financially successful horror series, Michael Dougherty supplies hungry horror fans with a macabre of a horror anthology that probably could have pushed new blood into a lifeless genre. Just yesterday the trailer to the Platinum Dunes reboot of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" hit the internet, and to say that I'm not the least bit curious would probably be a lie. However, the kind of originality told here goes to show you that there are people out there that love making horror films that set out to do new things. With small missteps aside, mostly dealing with a low budget and short run time, "Trick 'r Treat" is a film that will make its older audience excited about Halloween all over again.

Went to Best Buy this afternoon to pick it up and I got the last copy of it in the store. It was the Blu-Ray so that was awesome. Just got done watching it and I was not at all disappointed:) Just adds to my love of Halloween. The acting was pretty universally good and Sam is my favorite new horror character since Jigsaw in the first few Saw movies. Makes no sense that this great flick was shelved for so long.

Good Movie Didn't Really Live Up to The Hype But Sam Was Pretty Bad Ass So B+

My review is way too long... all I am going to say is: WOW!!!! WHAT A BLAST!!!!

for me, it's a really interesting horror movie but there are some parts in the movie where you can predict what is going to happen so it is not that scary (just like other horror and other slasher movies) but overall it's a really great movie. I give it a B+.

I don't know where else to put this but I seen in alot of reviews that people thought the little girl came out of Mr Krege's house just because of all the pumpkins...she clearly didn't. The houses are much diffrent. She comes out of a house with no porch, just steps. He has a porch that is on the side area of his house. Loved the movie!! I also wrote my own review. I wonder if he has more stories to tell...I would like to know more about Sam.

I think i agree with most people it was fun to watch like how each story connected but felt only two of them were really good. Brian Cox part was great as was Anna Paquin. Maybe if it was given a better treatment and more dough you could have extended certain parts but with will have a huge following on dvd which will hopefully get it a sequel. Not the best i see this year but still very good

IT WAS AMAZING BUT I WANTED TO SEE MORE AND I WANT TO KNOW THE ORIGINS OF Sam PRETTY GOOD MOVIE.

i'm on board with those saying it instantly earns a very high place in the ranking of my seasonal favorites. it was fun, well shot, well acted, well paced, and drenched in Halloween goodness. just the kind of movie to actually make the Halloween night playlist (which usually contains nothing made post 80s). see for yourself.

It didnt Suck but it wasnt good either! It was definatly over hyped!!! I had to force myself to pay attention during some of it! The Kid in the very beginning with the black hoodie and white mask should of had his own story because i thought he was creepy as hell just standing there watching the girl! Definatly glad i rented it and didnt buy it! Its worth a rent but not a buy!!
