Trick 'r Treat


I have still not gotten over the awesomeness of Trick 'r Treat. It's new horror movie with a trailer with shots that look like shots form The Gingerdead Man, is surprisingly executed as a mixture between Pulp Fiction, John Carpenter's Halloween, and Crash. It may sound strange from that description but hear me out. It's like Halloween because it's an amazingly made horror film about Halloween. Pulp Fiction, because it has several interweaving stories, which combine in a similar way to Crash. The best storyline, by far, is the final one which I don't want to give away, but I will say it contains one of the best horror scenes since Scream (one of my top 20 movies of all time) or maybe even better, I'll have to think about it more. If you are not busy watching John Carpenter's Halloween (and I mean John Carpenter's, that is not Rob Zombie's Halloween its the one from 1978, you know the one that's often considered one of the best horror films of all time) on Halloween this will serve as an almost equal substitute. I'd say it's much better than Paranormal Activity because of the fact that it's more entertaining that uncomfortably creepy making it my favorite horror film of the year.
