Comments on: These Weird Four Seasons of Halloween http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2009/10/14/trick-r-treat/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:06:57 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joe Valdez http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2009/10/14/trick-r-treat/comment-page-1/#comment-7496 Joe Valdez Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:37:46 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/?p=5550#comment-7496 <strong>Jim</strong>: I'm a big fan of <em>Creepshow</em> as well and feel like there's always room for another interpretation. The problem with <em>Trick 'r Treat</em> isn't a lack of originality, but a lack of execution. The whole movie just feels sketchy to me. It's better than <em>Van Helsing</em> and probably better than <em>Scream</em>, but in the end, that's a faint praise. Thanks for commenting!

Trick ‘r Treat isn’t really for people who read reviews, it’s for the people who love those movies that aren’t screened for critics. " Thank you Joe! I got this from Netflix a couple weeks back, gave up on it pretty early on and returned it. I didn't care for it (and I LOVED the similar CREEPSHOW). I thought maybe I should give it another shot due to all the online raves. But it looks like we felt the same way about it. “Here’s a movie stoked by such an outpouring of love from its target demographic that I’m left to ponder whether I even saw the same film the fanboys did.
