Well, it seems that the WB finally saw the light, and decided to give the horror fans what they really want. Will this film be your new annual Halloween flick? I know it will be mine.

Trick ‘r Treat (2008)

I’ve just had a theatrical experience, and I don’t really know how to put this down properly, so bear with me as I free form my thoughts on the film that I just witnessed. I just got home from the opening night of the LA Screamfest, and what an opening it was. Trick ‘r Treat was fantastic, and I need to get this out of the way right now. Warner Bros. is shooting themselves in the foot for not releasing this film. What they’re shelving it for makes absolutely no sense to me. This is what horror fans have been waiting for (unless you’re a Saw/Rob Zombie fan in which case you’re not allowed to enjoy quality films). Writer/Director Michael Dougherty has something very special here, and he manages to do something that almost no horror films in recent memory have managed. He mixes suspense, action, gore, terror and comedy seamlessly without tipping too far in one direction. Trick ‘r Treat is the film we, as horror fans, have been waiting for. And, we’re going to keep on waiting.

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★½
