It was definitely more fun than Paranormal Activity, lol. In all seriousness it was a very very fun movie to watch. It kind of loses its effect if not watched with friends, and I definitely believe it would have been fantastic in theatres. There are too many plotlines for me to talk about, but I will say that the plot of the movie is very well done, especially for tying four stories together for one complete narrative. I especially love the way it ties in some of the stories of Halloween’s origins and how some of the most well known aspects of Halloween come from other cultures. the acting is also great. Of special note is Dylan Baker, who does an excellent job as a principal/serial killer, as he gets some of the best lines in the movie. It should also be kept in mind that this movie is very much a dark comedy as opposed to straight up horror, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I wholeheartedly reccomend this to horror fans, especially those of classic films such as John Carpenter’s Halloween. If you want to pick it up, you can do so here! Remember, it’s everyone who buys something that helps keep this website up and running!

It’s been re-edited, had its release date pushed back a few million times, and has finally been sentenced to the cinematic limbo that is the American Direct to DVD market. I would normally be outraged for the fact that it just looks like a fantastic movie. Now, I’m not that much of a horror fan. It takes a lot to get me excited about a horror movie. But this looks like it’ll be a fun movie. And so far the reviews have been really good. A lot are saying that it’s the best horror film of the past ten years. So you’re probably thinking, “yeah, Coty, that’s all well and good, but why aren’t you mad about the direct to DVD treatment?” I’ll tell you why. It’s because it might help the direct to DVD market get an injection of GOOD films. For example, in Japan it is considered just fine for a movie to go direct to DVD instead of theatres, unlike over here where it’s looked down on. The appeal is that the premiere is in your own home, as Kramer from Seinfeld put it. There are a lot of directors who are big names in Japan, such as Takashi Miike, who prefer going direct to DVD because it means that they aren’t held down by a studio and they get to do basically whatever they want. The point I’m trying to make is that maybe our direct to DVD market could become similar. After all, as Kevin Smith put it, theatrical runs are really just elaborate commercials for the DVD, where the real money is at.

I think Trick ‘r Treat is going to be a fantastic film, and I will have a full review of it up soon. Here’s the trailer, btw!
