Trick 'r Treat, directed by Michael Dougherty of Superman Returns fame, has a comic book feel but does a nice job of conveying the real things that can spook kids, making for a good Halloween thriller. Composed of four intertwined stories that unfold simultaneously, starting on the same block in Ohio, Trick 'r Treat initially bears some resemblance to John Carpenter's Halloween, in that it focuses on terrors experienced by teens and young, costumed children. As the short tales become increasingly violent and complex, one begins to see that many culprits are responsible, and that a general haunting of all neighborhood jack-o'-lanterns is the root cause of some gory crimes. For example, in one segment, Emma (Leslie Bibb), against the wishes of her husband, Henry (Tahmoh Penikett), blows out a candle in her jack-o'-lantern and pays dearly as her night unfolds. Meanwhile, Laurie (Anna Paquin of True Blood), a young woman dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, goes to the woods to party with her sister and two girlfriends, attracting a stalker whose smile alone is creepy enough to startle a slumber party crowd. The two stories starring younger kids carry the film, however. In one, elementary-schooler Charlie (Brett Kelly) meets with the demented school principal, Steven (Dylan Baker), who assesses Charlie's love of stealing candy and thrashing pumpkins. At the same time, a witchy nerd named Rhonda (Samm Todd) is invited to join a young gang at an abandoned rock quarry and faces the mean gang leader, Macy (Britt McKillip), after a prank goes awry. "Earlier" or "Later" periodically flash onscreen in comic-book typeface, successfully directing the viewer through time and also relieving some tension that would've built through a single sustained story. In this, light comedy and some downright silliness shine through. All the kids are in great costumes, and the film, overall, has a festive goth look. By the end, one trusts that Trick 'r Treat is really targeting the younger age group that it highlights, yet it contains enough spook to make adults jumpy as well. --Trinie Dalton

A New Halloween Tradition

A New Halloween Tradition
As someone who grew up on 80's horror, I have been more than a little put off by the state of horror films in recent years. It seems everything falls essentially in to one of two categories. On the one hand we have these endless foreign PG- 13 remakes, that are soft on gore and lack anything else to make them compelling. If I see one more horror flick with a scary girl with long black hair I'm going to scream. Then there's the other extreme. While many in the U.S. are up in arms (and rightfully so) about the use of water boarding and other "enhanced interrogation techniques" employed by our government , Hollywood continues to dole out these torture porn movies that revel in human suffering. Whatever happened to monster movies? Vampires, Werewolves, Creepy ghouls, witches and good old fashioned masked stalkers?! When I first saw the trailer for Trick r Treat, let's just say I was elated. There hasn't been a Halloween themed movie in years. (I'm not counting Rob Zombie's abysmal and unnecessary Halloween remake). For reasons I still don't understand, Warner Brothers decided to hold back the release of this film for 2 years.Finally this year it gets a straight to DVD release. I really built up a ton of anticipation for this movie and while it wasn't exactly what I had expected, it was excellent none the less. Let me make something perfectly clear. If you didn't grow up on stuff like "Tales From The Crypt", "Creepshow", "Childs Play", "Nightmare On Elm St" etc., you will probably NOT like Trick r Treat. Go see Saw 17 or whatever. If you like old school fun and somewhat campy horror, and if you love Halloween, you will LOVE Trick r Treat. Now this isn't "The Shining", There isn't a ton of character development, but it's a tight 82 minutes that's packed with enough fun and iconic Halloween images to put you into that All Hallow's Eve mood. The stories cleverly intersect ala "Crash" and it takes more than one viewing to pick up on everything. It's pretty craftily put together and some things are left to interpretation. I truly believe this will become a Halloween cult classic. I know I will be taking it off the shelf every October. Just like I do with the ORIGINAL Halloween. So check it out.
