Running time - 82 minutes

This is my review of highly anticipated Trick 'r Treat.

Premise
The film is an anthology of four Halloween-related stories, kinda like a Creepshow but only difference is that this stories in Trick 'r' Treat are connected to each other. One story is about an everyday high school principal who has a secret life as a serial killer. Another story is about Laurie (Anna Paquin) a young woman dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and she is stalked by a mysterious hooded figure at a local Halloween festival. Then there is one about group of pranksters go too far and discover the horrifying truth buried in a local urban legend of a school bus massacre.


It blends very well elements of horror comedy. with For it's rather short running time it was very interesting all the way trough. Cinematography in this movie was very beautiful and score was very well done. I think that all of the actors did a convincing job. It is definitely unlike any horror movie I've ever seen, and it is definitely worth seeing.

Rating - 8/10
