these three men talk about the relese of latest horror movie trick or treat which was only released on dvd and blue ray. this movie challegenes classic horror movie conventions A little too often, Dougherty goes for the “gotcha” ending to the individual stories, and at times Trick ‘r Treat feels like a cheap Twilight Zone knockoff. But while indulging in the occasional cliche, the movie avoids making ironic commentary on them, and while it’s frequently violent and horrific, much of the violence is smartly left to our imagination, which keeps everything fresh and scary. Many people are killed and there’s plenty of gruesome gore left onscreen, but none of it feels mean spirited, even with the gleeful death of children. With everything it has going for it, it wouldn’t surprise me if Trick ‘r Treat becomes required Halloween viewing one day.
