Review: Trick 'r Treat (2008)

Finally had a chance to catch Trick 'r Treat. It plays out much like Pulp Fiction meets Twilight Zone: The Movie. A non linear collection of horror stories that all tie in together at the end.

I can't help but feel I've seen this before. An odd feeling for sure sense I know for a fact that I have not seen it. And I have to say the story would have been much better told with more character building and story line. The acting is fair, particularly Anna Paquin and Dylan Baker who both round out their perspective characters rather well despite the script. However it feels too rushed, too short and unfinished. They could have expanded on the core story line and done a much better job without the "Pulp" gimmick.

If you're a hard core horror buff, you'll want to add it to your collection as it is enjoyable if your expectation isn't high. If not, you can take a pass or catch it on Cable.

Overall Score: C+
