Some guy gets put in a mental hospital by his wife. After some years, the guy escapes and is set out for vengeance against the wife. Meanwhile some stupid b**** has to babysit a fat ass kid and she becomes the target of the guy. As you can tell I don't pay attention to names.This movie sucked. It is a slasher movie but a rather pathetic one at that. It is light-hearted and stupid. Only 2 people die in this movie and their deaths were stupid. The film wastes most the time with this fat annoying brat playing pranks on this b**** and the stalker running around like a moron. And I'm telling you, this fat-ass kid was an irritant and I actually wish he got his fat-ass stabbed to death; not before having his face punch in repeatedly. Ugh! In addition to it all, the acting was annoying, the plot is sort of a rip-off of Halloween (though I usually disregard rip-offs because what the f*** do I care; as long as my fat ass was entertained) and blah blah blah. In conclusion: Don't expect anything short of a s#!+ fest in this movie. The deaths are very very minimal and everything else is abysmally stupid. Death to fat kids!
Alright I won't go as far as defending this long forgotten 1982 slasher because every single point that is made towards this film to why it sucks is completely valid. Trick Or Treats is not a good film at all. It truly does make me laugh that this got a theater release at all but all in all it's actually a rather charming film. It's not so bad it's good but it really comes very close at some points. If it were any worse it could be a small cult classic in it's own right joining the pool of the best worst horror films of the last 50 years. But it never quite gets there. All in all the irony is the people behind the film were much too talented to get the film to that level of bad. Sure it's atrocious. Sure there is no plot anywhere and the film is littered with tedious filler but all in all technically it's passable. The acting isn't great but it's not bad, the directing is okay and the potential the film had is there. It just never comes together and with a proper script it could've. I personally have 2 big qualms with the film. 1.It was much too dark. Frustrating really. It would be nice if the filmmakers would've been kind enough to show us what's going on! It seemed the longer the film went on the darker it seemed to get. The only 2 bulbs must have been going out *eyes* . 2.The comedy. Clearly Trick Or Treats wanted to be a satire of the slasher genre. It just doesn't work in the slightest. Student Bodies it's not! Nothing about Trick Or Treats is clever or funny. You actually forget it's a satire at all most of the time and only when the film forces a scene of forced humor do you realize how much it failed in that department. Now look Trick Or Treats is not a boring film like most people will make you believe. For all the filler the film has it must be complimented at moving at a nice pace. I can't even begin to understand how they managed that but they did. Maybe they fell into it? And if you're a slasher film buff it's worth the watch! Hey it's from 1982! And just the year alone is enough to make most genre fans hunt the title down. I enjoyed it. Bad film or not which it is.
A female baby-sitter is watching a young prankster on Halloween night.The kid's dad is a murdering lunatic who just happens to break out of an asylum that very night.Gary Graver's "Trick or Treats" is a badly-lit and incredibly boring "Halloween" clone with almost no horror elements at all.The plot makes little sense and is filled with several disjointed and out-of-place situations.I have also seen Gary Graver's "Moon in Scorpio" and it was equally as bad and pointless.The utter lack of blood and gore is hard to forgive as is the lack of suspense and scares.Overall,"Trick or Treats" is a complete waste of time.Watch "Halloween" again and don't bother with this piece of cow dung.
Ok , I wanted to like this flick, really I did. But ...it is too hard to even remotely like... I had read about this movie and it sounded quite interesting. Also I found it had orginally been released as a Halloween gift to American Movie theaters. I went to the video store to find it. The cover looked pretty decent - depicting a ripped Trick Or treats bag with something bloody scratching its way out...So I said to myself , gotta see this. What a joke!!! I believe I didnt even see the end , thats bad. The beginning started out a tiny bit interesting - and im thinking this is leading up to something awful... Yeah RIGHT! What a Halloween nightmare alright. An utterly depressing JOKE! Just when you think something may happen or you are going to see something , anything gruesome - the gore youve been waiting for - BOOM - its completely DARK - and you can not see a dang thing! Complete - Halloween - DISASTER... Totally upsetting Boo Hoo
