Playing a dead heavy-metal rocker's (Tony Fields) last record backward brings him back with the power to zap his critics.

Variety

Price is cast perfectly as the dismayed rock worshipper.

Time Out

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.

Film Frenzy

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

Rated: 2/4

"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.

Rated: B

The Blu Spot

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

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

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A bloodless slasher, Trick or Treat is an effective satire of the Satanic panic of the 1980s.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.
