Price is cast perfectly as the dismayed rock worshipper.

All utter rubbish but fun, benefiting greatly from outrageous SFX la Videodrome, and from two neat cameos by real life HM stars Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.

It's genial, not too frightening and even rather sweet.

A movie mixing horror and heavy metal shouldn’t be described as tame, yet that’s how the picture pans out.

"Trick or Treat" is entertaining, capturing the 1980s metal scene with some accuracy, but it hits pacing issues at times, finding Martin and his screenwriters in no hurry with the picture, making for a slightly sluggish journey into headbanging danger.

3.5/5

Trick or Treat takes the absurdly silly premise of a resurrected rock star hell-bent on revenge and runs with it, delivering a fun & entertaining horror-comedy outing that both fans of the genre & heavy metal music lovers will get a big kick out of.

One of the all time great Halloween movies and clinically underrated. You would think something like this would have cheesy acting and a silly premise, but quite the contrary. Rather solid acting all around and a good plot and screenplay. And can we talk about the soundtrack? One of the greatest ever from Fastway. No false metal!

Pretty good! The title is a throwaway, but I think the lead gives a solid performance and there's plenty of spooky death metal ambience to go around.

If you were a right-wing christian parent in the 1980’s, this movie should’ve been enemy #1. Satanic Heavy Metal Meltdown Massacre!

Probably the most 80s horror movie I’ve ever seen. With so much insane moments and completely crazy performances that this little seen gem is worth discovering

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.
