Trick 'r Treat: Review By Jakn

I do have to give this film some credit for trying on making its points and beginning to be effective once in a while. This Halloween movie tries to make some good points and morals to its story about the rules and traditions of Trick or Treating on Halloween night. Some of the rules such as "Never go Trick or Treating alone", "Always check your candy", and I think the one rule on not pulling a prank that might end up hurting somebody very badly. I don't really know all of rules and traditions of Halloween because I don't pay much attention to the Halloween rules or traditions, but I do know to check what I receive based on the fact that there are sicko's intend to spill drug for their messed up reasons, but anyways.

Like this film tries to show the rule of checking you candy by showing a kid coming up to some psychopathic stranger's home, sits down with the psycho, eats the stranger's candy, and then starts upchucking blood endlessly. The problem with that scene is showing the kid throw up and ton load of blood. Yes it is trying to make a point of checking drugged candy, but throwing up chucks of blood that could fill two human bodies isn't something that would be impressing to make a point.

What I'm trying to say is that when the tries to make points they show them in such odd ways that is almost laughable, not in finding it funny, but laughing at it from how silly it is. There are a few scenes that are actually funny from how the characters act, but most I laughed at this film, not with it. Another problem with this film is how these characters act immature and ludicrous. Like there a certain scene in this film when it begins to be freaky, creepy, and slowly rise to be scary, but then from either the characters or these off-turning visuals makes it from freaky and creepy to boring and disappointing. That's pretty rude of this film.

There is one totally bizarre scene near the ending of this film with a midget wearing a clothed pumpkin over his head climbing on the walls, setting up traps, flying around torturing an old guy. I found it so stupid how what point that scene was trying to show. That's a bit too extreme to show a point like to people.

Maybe this is the type of film that would be shown to kids to make good points for them. This is more of a Halloween horror film for children to watch, but trying to show these points to older people will just be revolting and be laughed at. 'Trick'r'Treat' is comically foolish, screams too loud to be scary, laughable, goofy that tries to have meanings and possibly the most ludicrous, silliest, and most ridiculous Halloween movie I've seen yet.

I sometimes think to myself why I even bothered watching this made-for-TV film when I know that most made-for-TV films aren't worth the time watching. If there are made-for-TV films that actually are worth the time, then they should have been released in theaters, but even movies in theaters can be crappy as well as this, and yes I have seen theatrical films worse than some of the made-for-TV films that I've seen before. Don't get me started naming films those films.

The only made-for-TV horror film that I actually found scary is 'Stephen King's IT' which some called a TV miniseries while others called it a made-for-TV horror film. I'd have to say that it was more of a film. To this day I still don't why 'IT' didn't go theatrical from how terrifying and haunting it is. Yes, a three hour film is taking it a little too far, but still!

'Trick'r'Treat' is like watching another boring horror film. Not worth the time to see.
