From Bryan Singer and Michael Dougherty, the director and screenwriter of Superman Returns and X2, comes a comic horror tale perfect for Halloween--Bryan Singer's Trick or Treat. On the night when demons and tortured souls are free to walk the earth alongside mortal revelers, four tales of terror--of a staid high school principal who is a Halloween serial killer, a college-age virgin seeking that special guy, a woman who hates dressing up for Halloween and whose husband's obsession with the holiday and a group of young teens who pull a cruel prank--will make you laugh even while scaring you.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The film is simply too original and too fun to be considered anything less than a creative achievement.

...compelling subject matter that is, for the most part, employed to lackluster and surprisingly tedious effect...

Trick 'r Treat lives up to its reputation taking the traditions of the holiday and wielding them into a horrific tale of lore, murder, and revenge.

What unifies all these episodes, beyond their jagged singularity of time and place, is a nostalgic EC Comics-style brand of twisted morality that sees characters punished for infringing the rules of this night when the supernatural runs riot.

There are a lot of tricks in this movie, and a lot of treats - that isn't just a cheesy Halloween reference, it's the visible intended design of this funny, weird, sometimes actually unsettling movie.
