A creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year from writer-director Michael Dougherty (GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, KRAMPUS). TRICK ‘R TREAT takes the CREEPSHOW/TALES FROM THE CRYPT approach to nefarious new depths with four interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a high school principal (Dylan Baker) moonlights as a vicious serial killer; the quest of a young virgin (Anna Paquin) for that special someone takes a gruesome turn; a group of teens carries out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences; and a cantankerous old man (Brian Cox) battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.
“An enjoyably nasty, self-aware series of stories, linked by the small town where they take place, and by a sensibility that’s just demented enough to feel unique.” —Tasha Robinson, Polygon “The work of die-hard fans who studied ’70s pics like…with the same enthusiasm with which film-school academics deconstruct CITIZEN KANE.” —Joe Leydon, Variety “A film about the details, little nuances that lend themselves to multiple viewings. With its light and almost holiday upbeat music, it elevates the film beyond a collection of stories interlaced by time and a demonic rule keeper.” —Stephanie Archer, Film Inquiry
