Trick 'r Treat
There are people who will tell you that Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat is the ultimate Halloween movie ever. Though inexplicably shelved for two years, this is a rare horror anthology with no weak filler stories, subversive, exquisitely structured and just so goddamn entertaining you cannot go wrong. Best go in cold.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressFilm appears to be the work of die-hard fans who studied '70s horror pics with the same enthusiasm with film fans deconstruct "Citizen Kane."
Little White Lies
pressDougherty interweaves the different strands of his narrative with a healthy disinterest in the norms of chronology, and so introduces just the right amount of jigsaw-like tricksiness to keep his penny-dreadful treat smelling fresh.

pressA trip back to the 80's when the goal was to excite and entertain, not torment you.
