Trick ‘r’ Treat, there is a lesson in this film for all of us!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films
The pending release of ‘Trick ‘r’ Treat‘ has felt like a long time coming, however as October rolls closer I am still in shock it is still a DVD only release. It had a great response at Comic Con 09 and the horror community is all a buzz with anticipation of a truly intelligent, creative piece of work that still manages to make audiences squeal with fright and giggle with delight. A deformed evil pumpkin head demon Midget (little person) chopping the achilles of a disheveled old man never gets old and is one of life’s guilty pleasures!
The official synopsis is as follows:
“It is said that Halloween is the night when the dead rise to walk among us and other unspeakable things roam free. The rituals of All Hallows Eve were devised to protect us from their evil mischief, and one small town is about to be taught a terrifying lesson that some traditions are best not forgotten. Nothing is what it seems when a suburban couple learns the dangers of blowing out a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight; four women cross paths with a costumed stalker at a local festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local legend; and a cantankerous old hermit is visited by a strange trick-or-treater with a few bones to pick. Costumes and candy, ghouls and goblins, monsters and mayhem… the tricks and treats of Halloween turn deadly as strange creatures of every variety-human and otherwise-try to survive the scariest night of the year.”
There are some interesting cast members including the lovely Anna Paquin now known for her fangbanging portrayal of waitress Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood and Tahmoh Penikett hunky sci-fi regular who you may recognise for his roles in Dollhouse and Battlestar Galactica. I am personally looking forward to the relase of this film, as its been a while since we had a bit of good old fashioned spooky Halloween fun, that doesn’t involve some oedipal psychopath in a tattered mask massacring the local populace.
