B P A bloodless slasher, Trick or Treat is an effective satire of the Satanic panic of the 1980s. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Ender W A wonderfully nostalgic film which brings you back to the glory days of glam metal, all while poking fun at the assumed "satanic" nature of the musical genre. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review DanTheMan 2 An utterly demented masterpiece of heavy-metal horror, Trick or Treat is a consummate demonstration of quality 80s horror, one that recognises that obsession can be fatal, even leading to the resurrection of your favourite artist as a Freddy Kruger-like serial killer. The directorial debut of Charles Martin Smith, the film is a gift that, despite being well-written, well-directed and visually inventive, is blessed with effects that capture the surrealism of Elm Street more than any of that film's sequels ever did. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and embraces its gothic glam rock aesthetics while marrying its visual design to a brilliantly poignant story built upon bullying, rejection and more. The acting all around is great with Marc Price, Skippy from Family Ties, delivering on the tormented victim turned reluctant hero role very well. At the same time, Tony Fields is awesome as the satan worshipping resurrected rockstar Sammi Curr and the film even features a cameo from Gene Simmons and one from Ozzy Osbourne that I still can't quite believe is real. Backed by a kick-ass, headbanger of a soundtrack courtesy of Fastway, it's hard enough not to recommend Trick or Treat to any passerby, it's a B-grade cult classic slice of greatness and I wouldn't have it any other way. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review David Lee J Amazing movie great plot and Ozzy Osborne and Gene Simmons. You can’t go wrong with this movie. 80s nostalgia all the way. If you love metal you will love this movie. Fastway does the soundtrack and it is amazing as well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Jeffrey W I love this movie! Tony Fields was so perfect as Sammi and the soundtrack is amazing! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Marty A Great movie. Having visited all of the filming locations and watched the movie in the gymnasium where the final concert took place it just made it that much more amazing.
