Sound simple enough, right? Well, each one has its own shock and twist towards the end, and how they all link in with each other is really well done. The stories revolve around a young teenager (Anna Paquin) looking for someone to have her first time with, an irritable old man living alone, a school teacher with a dark, twisted side, and a horrible school prank revolving around what seems to be only an urban legend. What it is is clever, old school original horror that separates itself from all those other horrors out there. Sure, it's not the scariest film ever made, it isn't that gory either. The stories themselves are actually very good, keeping us on the edge of our seats with interest and gives us a nice little twist at the end of each one that even managed to surprise me when I watched it a second time a few months later. The film that contains 4 individual stories that all tie in together at the end of the film. Trick R Treat is an indie, stand alone horror film directed by Michael Dougherty. It's purely an original horror film, and it's a breath of fresh air. It's not some mindless blood fest, it doesn't have pointless nudity, and it isn't some crappy remake of an original classic horror film that we are getting so many of these days. Which brings us the difference between Trick R Treat and all those other terrible horror films out there. The many sequels of Saw relied on all gore and no story, the Hostel Trilogy is plain sick, (even though the first one was just about OK) and many many others that probably couldn't satisfy the sickest minds. Nowadays, there are so many horror films out there that are packed full of mindless gore, repetitive jump scares and little plot.
