Four interwoven tales are set on Halloween night: a high-school principal who moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a young virgin whose quest for that special someone takes a gruesome turn, a group of teens who carries out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences, and a cantankerous old man who battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.

Was this an attempt to make the most complex horror film of all time? Those who have seen stuff like this before will enjoy it. I enjoyed all the genre positions, the sorority girl and the grumpy neighbor the most, but at times also despaired at being bored enough to have to deal with the logic issues. Regardless, the fact that Singer has sent a capable craftsman into the world is beyond question. 3 ½.

This is a movie full of (embarrassing) surprises that I really didn't enjoy. I imagined someone else as the killer and definitely more realistic. Maybe I would still believe the comedy producers, but I really think that this time they should have skipped the horror genre and I would definitely give a higher rating. Michael Dougherty should pay attention to his superheroes and limit the filming of these movies.

High expectations are usually followed by disappointment. I’m sorry, but this film failed to satisfy me horror-wise. The Halloween atmosphere is great (something so stylish feels almost like revelation these days), but it was unable to make me feel afraid. There are a couple of very effective jump-scares, but every opportunity to generate fear is ruined by something, either the music (good but not for horror), the actors or the comedic evil. Trick 'r Treat will likely become a cult film that horror fans (myself included) will always mention when speaking about the past decade, but it’s also an example of a film that will never win my heart. In any case, it’s good. 7/10

This horror comedy could be considered a Halloween classic. Unlike most films of this genre, this one features a really complex plot of several stories, and they have managed to put these individual pieces together perfectly. The cast is likeable, as is the somber atmosphere and music. The film doesn't lack action, wit, suspense, blood and an amazing ending, what more could you ask for? In short, a film that I think fulfilled its purpose, to entertain and scare on "the day when the line between the dead and the living is thinnest".
