Trick 'r Treat (Limited Edition) [4K Ultra HD]

don’t believe the low ratings I don’t know where those people come from but this is one of the greatest Halloween movies yes, you will wanna watch it every year maybe more than onceIt’s cleverly done with four story plots that interact with each other if you’re smart enough to catch that. And people who cannot stand to watch kids in horror movies shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. It shows kids on the cover hello?? it is a Halloween show and it is a dang good one . It’s complicated to explain because of the four different stories that interact but if you don’t get it the first time you watch it watch it a second time and you will we all thought it was awesome, but we are all in on everything Halloween and was pleased to see a new Halloween themed movie finally come out since the original Halloween. not comparing this one to the original Halloween. They are nothing alike. but it was an awesome enjoyable movie you won’t be disappointed unless you just don’t like Halloween.

This is a really delicious treat for a horror film.Summary:It's Halloween night in a little town and everyone is into it. Unbeknownst to them, a little "demon" is loose and his name is Sam. He masquerades as a trick-or-treater and so, goes mostly unseen. It opens with a couple returning home from the Halloween festivities downtown and the wife is pretty tired of the holiday. This story soon transitions into another tale taking place in the same town- a murderous school principal is showing his distaste for trick-or-treaters. This story leads into one featuring some school kids, out on Halloween, who are trying to play a prank on a young girl named Rhonda (myself being high-functioning autistic, I really thing Rhonda is one, too). Another story features out murderous principal again, but this time, he encounters werewolves. The final story (or not?) is where our little Sam "haunts" the house of a very grouchy old man.Note: Sam only attacks those who break his rules on Halloween.Pros: (Some light spoiler may be hidden here, but I will list it last) :1. Great effects2. Interesting story-telling3. VERY interesting killer4. Leaves room for hardcore fans to have fun filling in small blanks (they're not even noticeable IF you're not a hardcore fan)LASTLY! (5.) Rhonda gets to have her revenge, even if it's not a very pretty oneCons:1. Some may disagree with having a "cute" killer and think that that ruins things2. Some may think it should be unnecessary to have to watch twice to understand the whole story3. Has a somewhat campy feel (If you don't like campy at all, don't watch)My thoughts:Ultimately my favorite horror movie. Although, as I said before when referring to Rhonda, I am an autist. This means I can be highly obsessive over things most people wouldn't even blink at. This is one of my favorite movies for a reason- I have an obsession with Halloween. (EXTREMELY SMALL SPOILER WARNING!) In one scene, one of the children says to Rhonda, "Boy, you must really love Halloween.". Rhonda replies to him with something like, "You mean, Samhain?". He asks, "What?". So she responds with "Samhain, also known as All Hallow's Eve, also known as Halloween. Pre-dating Christianity, the Celtic holiday was celebrated on the one night between autumn and winter when the barrier between the living and the dead was thinnest and often involved rituals that included human sacrifice." (END OF SMALL SPOILER) In this scene, I tend to get worked up, but I know it's just me. I have a large database of knowledge about Halloween that most people don't have access to (I can name over 16 different books I own on the subject if needed). I just want to clarify, for the few that may care, that the information about Halloween presented by Rhonda in this movie has not all been proven to be true. Mostly the bit about human sacrifice being a ritual involved and the part about lumping with belief in the dead spirits with the Celts. I will repeat, I know that most won't care about this, so this is more of a heads-up for anyone else out there who is into these kinds of details.But overall, this is an amazing movie and I hear tell that a sequel is in the works. A photo from the production of the sequel was released, showing Sam without his mask and instead of his usual childlike outfit, he was wearing long, flowing, pitch black magic robes. I neglected to mention something the movie never points out to the viewers- Sam is not just any little monster. In case you haven't guessed it from the original name of Halloween, "Samhain" and the fact his name is Sam, Sam is actually the force behind the holiday. In other words, he IS the holiday. This is why he attacks when his rules are broken. You hurt him, he hurts back. He goes with "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth".Final words? Most unique, cute little monster I've ever seen in a horror movie. Really neat way of telling the stories, too. Do not skip it over if you like horror films (unless campy stuff bugs you to the extreme).

I can not comprehend how this film ended up going straight to DVD. Does anyone know? This film is excellent. The greatest anthology I have ever seen. Most people are calling this the quintessential movie to watch on Halloween. It's true.First of all the mood and locations in this film are absolutely perfect. It captures the feeling of Halloween night down to the last detail. Not just Halloween but the spirit of Autumn (My personal favorite season). Watching this film is just a pleasure, it actually puts me in a good mood.The stories themselves are quite original and the way they intertwine with one another is just great. The stories are creepy and manage to keep surprising twists until the very end. Over all the movie is horror in the classic sense. What I mean by that is that there is no "Murder porn" "Gritty realism" or "Shaky camera" nonsense here. This movie is a simple and beautiful horror movie with no dumb director or camera antics. For the modern audience the chances are extremely high this film will not be scary, especially to a seasoned horror veteran. However, for the casual fan this movie will do just fine. As for kids, well this movie is Rated R for a reason so I'd keep the kids away from this one. Especially during the beginning we get a quick shot of one of the characters watching porn. Other than that 3 second scene, the rest of the movie remains untainted.If this movie had been made in the 80s it would be held as one of the most revered classics of it's time. I am still convinced that this film will become classic. It's just that good. There will come a time when this film will be associated with Halloween as the film "The Grinch" is associated with Christmas.The Blu Ray quality and sound are excellent. Buy this movie, grab some pizza, beer, snacks, and some friends and simply enjoy. Some 80s films that are similar to this in either style or fun in general are:Night of The CreepsReturn of the Living DeadNight of the DemonsCabin in the WoodsEvil DeadArmy of Darkness

Good movie

I absolutely love this movie anthology! I stumbled across it around Halloween a few years ago. This past Halloween I finally broke down and purchased it. I'm glad I did. I have watched it multiple times since then. It's a creepy movie but not too scary.
