It is an entertaining movie. It has one story lines with many story lines included in it. The content of the movie is sick and twisted. The story line is easy to follow. Many myths and truths are to be taken away from the movie regaurding the halloween holiday. There are minor sex scenes, and gruesome killings. This is not a film for small children. But basically the moral of this story is "what goes around, come around."

Worth a purchase. I enjoyed the interwoven spooky, Halloween night tales. Not graphic or obscene, just the right balance of fun and fright. Tame enough for kids (in my book, that is) and entertaining enough for adults.

This is an excellent movie, entertaining from start to finish, and every second of screen-time overflows with Halloween ambience. Great acting, great interwoven stories, a Top Ten on my list of favorite Halloween movies!

Trick r Treat is not your normal, everyday horror movie. There are four interwoven stories that take place with people living in a small town on Halloween night. I guess the moral of this story is be careful of everything you say and do on Halloween night, because there are rules to follow, and there might be really bad consequences. There's a strange little character "Sam", who has a sack on his head, and he appears several times throughout the movie. He seems to wander around making sure Halloween rules are obeyed, and also to carry out some of his own Halloween justice. I think this movie is a "dark humor" horror story. There's some scary things that go on, but there's also some sick, dark, humor thrown in. And, for those of you who like some "gore" in a Horror movie, yes, there's some in this one!! I don't want to ruin the four stories for you, but each one very different from the others. They each have their own "twist" to the story too. Buy it, I think you'll enjoy it each Halloween!! :)Read full review
