Gerry Barnabys Film Review: Trick r Treat

Genre : horror Comedy halloween Thriller, contains strong blood violence & murder


Cert:  18 cert

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: Some girls have a frank discussion about tits popping out, they are shown putting on tights, bras are shown. This is just after the scene with the town in Ohio that 'really' celebrates Halloween. They then come out of their dressing stalls wearing sexually provocative dresses with low cleavages. They then go out and start 'inviting' young men to a party.
Some kids see some adults having sex at a house party. We don't see anything but we do hear the sounds.
A man watches a porn video. A woman is seen sitting on top of a man and thrusting herself. Bare breasts are visible.
As a group of female werewolves start hunting a man, they remove their clothes. Breasts are visible for a small amount of time.
A man runs his hands over the body of a woman and starts kissing her all over the body. Both are clothed.


Violence & Gore: Moderate horror movie violence. Not very strong by R rated horror movie standards.
We see a quick glimpse of a woman's throat being slit. The blanket she's in gets bloody. We then see her hung on a scarecrow perch while her dismembered arm is hanging from a tree dripping blood.
In a particularly gross scene, a kid eats a poisoned candy and starts graphically vomiting a mixture of blood and chocolate.
A man throws a dead body into a hole in the ground. The body comes back alive and the man starts kicking it until it's dead.
A man chops off a person's finger and feeds it to a dog.
We see a man stab a knife on something offscreen and then we see a kid's decapitated head on a table. The head is bloody.
A man with vampire teeth bites a woman's neck. She starts bleeding.
A bus of kids is shown driving off a cliff and sinking into a pond. All the kids die. (offscreen
)

Some kids are attacked by creatures offscreen, we can hear them screaming and being dismembered.
A man's leg is shown broken. The bone is sticking out of his skin.

Werewolves are seen eating a man, nothing graphic is shown.
A man's ankle is sliced open. We see the cut.
A man falls down stairs onto pieces of candy and razor blades. We see the palms of his hands are bloody and cut.
A kid falls onto a man's head and starts punching him. The kid is thrown against a mirror.
A kid's halloween mask is ripped off, his real face is a mix between a skull and a pumpkin.
A kid bites a man's leg.
A kid gets shot in the head and then shot in the chest. His arm is shot off. We see his "guts" land on the floor and walls. Not human guts. Just pumpkin matter.
A man gets stabbed in the foot. Not graphic.
A man is attacked by some creatures. We see this through comic book drawings.


Profanity:  2 uses of "fuck", couple of "shit", "asshole" and other words.
Some mentally challenged are referred to as "retard".


Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking:Various drinking including alcohol being offered to little kids.
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The movie shows violence towards kids.
Most scenes in the Violence and Gore section can be intense.
Sam's can face be disturbing.
The finale with Sam in Brian Cox's character's house is suspenseful and rather intense.
Fairly tame when compared to most other horror films. A good horror movie for young teenagers and some preteens.

 

Story : trick r treat With four interwoven tales concerning a high-school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a college-age virgin who's saving herself for that special someone, a woman whose hatred of Halloween is only exceeded by her husband's love of the mischievous holiday, and a callous group of teens who carry out an unforgivably cruel prank, this fall frightener mixes Tarantino-style storytelling with the kind of chills that can only occur on the darkest day of the year. Brian Cox, Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, and Leslie Bibb all star in a Halloween treat that's sure to deliver a few nasty tricks.


Likes : Surpizingly i like this film classic storys of halloween, four tale like short horror storys like creep show, funny in places but good to watch.TRICK 'R TREAT's story unfolds unlike a traditional anthology picture, with all of the movie's separate plots taking place together. We're not subjected to title cards or stunted intermissions between tales, but a seamless mix of Halloween hijinx and horrors. In its five overlapping stories, a couple discovers what happens when they blow out a jack o' lantern before midnight, a bullying child learns to check his candy before eating it, a young woman is stalked by a hooded stranger at a harvest festival, a group of pranksters uncover the ghoulish truth about a local urban legend, and an elderly Scrooge is visited by a pint-sized hellion who is far more interested in tricks than treats.
Buffeted by wonderful performances from Oscar winner Anna Paquin, Emmy winner Brian Cox, Dylan Baker, Leslie Bibb, and Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett, TRICK 'R TREAT is the one and only genre film to have been released in the past decade that is already one of my all-time favorites.
When its done, you'll feel sorry for the works of Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino, because TRICK 'R TREAT has taken the best of these auteurs, blended them with ten pounds of candy corn and razor blades, and shoveled the whole mess down your throat.
TRICK 'R TREAT may not just be the best Halloween-themed movie ever made, but the finest example of horror cinema in decades


Dislike : didnt make me jump i found it to low budget but still watchable.


Overall : if you like creep show films this is one for you it has a bit of pulp fiction,creep show all rolled in to one

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars for horror, 8 out of 10 for halloween theme
