KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Leofwine_draca TRICK OR TREATS is a deservedly forgotten comedy horror film from 1982 that attempts to spoof HALLOWEEN but does so in perhaps the least funny way ever. The story is about a struggling blonde actress who takes on a one-night job as a babysitter to one of the most annoying brats you'll have seen in a while. Most of the screen time is made up with the endless repetitive pranks that the kid plays on said babysitter; they lose steam after about five minutes. A sub-plot involves a maniac escaping from a mental asylum, but this never really goes anywhere and is tied off in a 30 second scene. Mild interest is raised by the presence of familiar faces in supporting roles (including David Carradine, Carrie Snodgress, and Steve Railsback) but very little is made of them and overall this is a chore to sit through.

bernhard_alund Its tag-line "when Halloween night stopped being fun" speaks volumes about this dreaded film because I can't really see anyone finding any enjoyment in watching this trash. I had never watched this film until now and to be honest never even heard anyone talk about it so I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.The premise of the film is great with a perfect 80's VHS-cover a plot about an escaped mental patient about to seek vengeance on his family (not original but has worked before) and appearances by one of my favorite b-movie action-heroes David Carradine. But then I made the mistake of watching the actual movie and boy oh boy was I let down.The film starts of as a weird family drama and soon then later turns into some weird comedy about a boy playing pranks on his stupid babysitter. This goes on for an hour or something and when the horror actually starts you don't care and actually want the cast to get killed so the dreaded thing can be over with.The cast is set up of somewhat skilled actors but Gary Graver seems to have gone out of his way to create characters that nobody can like. The kid is an evil little brat that speaks with a freaky baby-voice, his mother is an egotistical and evil bitch and the babysitter seems to have the IQ of a donkey. To be honest the only lovable character in the whole film is the deranged father that's doing all the killings. Was this intentional or just poorly written? The only enjoyments one can get out of it is by watching it as a vigilante film and actually cheer for the killer as he gets back on society and the bastards who locked him up. But even then you'll probably spend half the movie hitting the fast forward button.

TeacupHorror It is unlikely there has ever been a horror film less effective than Trick or Treats. The killer is more annoying than scary, and the final girl is unlikeable. The film has little suspense, gore, or plot. The shots are badly lit, and mainly focus on the final girl's ass. The story takes place in Los Angeles, where a man is taken to an asylum by his wife so she get his money. Seven years later he breaks free to get revenge. However, the wife's away at a party in Las Vegas with her new husband and has left their son with a babysitter. The son is an amateur magician, and he proceeds to play tricks on the babysitter, until eventually the father breaks in and the babysitter thinks the strange calls and noises are the son's doing. The film was directed by Gary Graver, a cinematographer who worked with Orson Welles on many films and was apparently good friends with him. Welles is credited in the film as "Magic Consultant".

howdy4499 This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The acting is horrible, the camera work is pathetic, script is laughable. Chris Graver shares the same name as that of the director. If they're related it might help explain how Chris got the part.It's a shame David Carradine ever got involved with something like this.I hope none of you ever get suckered into buying or renting this movie.
