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.
