Trick or Treat - WARNING: Possible spoilers ahead

Re: Trick or Treat

With all these good reviews why in the hell did the studio execs not think it was worthy enough for a theatrical release?

Bought my copy on Bluray today at Best Buy. No cute girl there to ask out, though. I'll watch it alone in shame later.

Don't worry. One man's cute is another man's catastrophic.

No shame in Anna.

SUPPOSEDLY cause there is a high body count for kids.(rumor as to why the didn't release in the theater) I don't buy that though. Too bad the movie didnt get the respect it deserves. Maybe when they look at the DVD sales, (if good) they'll think differently in the future about these kinda movies.

There is a $25.00 gift card code for Sideshow in the Blu-Ray copy that I picked up from Best Buy today. There were no Blu-Ray copies on the shelf, I found mine on one of their little carts that they use to stock the shelves.

Anyone know if the Sideshow card is a Best Buy exclusive? This is the first I've heard of it...

Re: Trick or Treat

Can happily say now that I have finally seen Trick R' Treat, and what a blast it was. This film did not disappoint in any way. Definitely on my must see list every year for Halloween season now. And I only had to go to one Best Buy, one Fry's, and call two more Best Buys before I found a copy on bluray! By the way, I was given three different stories on stock status at each of the Best Buys. Great service there, right?

I did get a $25 gift card for Sideshow in my bluray, but I don't know if it was a Best Buy exclusive. The disc says "Special Edition" which I assume to be the inclusion of a digital copy.

Anyway, great film!

Thanks man. Could use the laugh.

I forgive you for short-bashing Freddy the other day. I'm sorry for my conduct as well. Truce?

WTF for?!

There's no need. I don't have a vagina. I never take anything out of a thread, let alone carry it with me the next day.

Re: Trick or Treat

Just finished it. I was a bit let down cause of the hype probably. Still a good Halloween flick. (but i can see why it went straight to DVD) I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as hood as i had hoped. At least it was something fresh as far as Halloween type movies go, and i recommend it.


7.5 /10

Re: Trick or Treat

Rented this tonight and while I loved what the movie was trying to do, it was kinda disjointed. I have no problem with the storylines rotating, it just didnt serve any real purpose. Characters were there, then gone.....I'd give it a C+ for a great look, interesting atmosphere, but I wanted characters I could care about. For me, that was what was missing in this flick

Bravo.

The movie was great, by the way. Very impressed, overall. Add a new favorite to the ol' horror list.

Re: Trick or Treat

I ended up loving it. It was a nice throwback kind of anthology, much better than most of the horror movies we've been getting in recent years.

Re: Trick or Treat

I watched it last night with some friends (after having seen it at SDCC) and have to say I liked it even better on a second viewing. I noticed a lot more of the background stuff, including the

Spoiler:

wheezing of the bus driver when he climbs out of the water, which is used to show you clearly (along with the scars) that the old man is him. I missed the first time around.

I always enjoy when they provide clues like that to any 'twists', so you have ample opportunity to figure it out if you're paying attention. There's about a million of them with the girls!

The hints are pretty cool, I caught a ton of them from girls on the second viewing.

Re: Trick or Treat

Watched it tonight with a few people over the house and it just wrapped up. I'll be honest. Both of my guests didn't like it. I thought it was okay but a little overrated on these boards. It reminded me of a big screen version of Nickelodeon's "Are You Afraid of The Dark" only slightly kicked up a notch.

Re: Trick or Treat

I thought it was great. Had the same sort of childhood glee I did when I watched the first Creepshow movie...

Spoiler:

I liked the "walking corpse" revenge scenario, ala Tales from the Crypt, with the kids. Although it was predictable, it was great to see nevertheless and we got it twice! First with the prank story and then again with the bus driver.

I was also glad that they made the broads at the end werewolves and not vampires. Though the whole transformation deal was rather "eh" (compared to things like Universal's time laps deal, London's fantastic transformation scene or even Underworld's CGI.

Nevertheless, it was still fun.

Really?

Spoiler:

I actually really enjoyed the werewolf transformations. The girls were all so sexy and cool about it, basically doing a strip tease with their flesh. Kinda stole the show for me, to be honest. The Manson music cue was perfect, imo, as well.

Spoiler:

I'm spoiled I guess. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen, and after seeing some really awesome werewolf transformations, it was just, "eh" for me. I think American Werewolf in London pretty much ruined it for everyone else as far as practical effects. The Manson music made me LOL. At this point, it's just too cliche.

Again though, that in no way ruined the movie. It kicked ass in a pulpy fiction kinda way.

Spoiler:

I love the whole movie, Wilkinson was an awesome character, but I think the bus flashback is my favorite part of the movie, and the bus driver. I love the "set it and forget it" line right when he puts the candy bar down, which ultimately saves him.
