Nick Clark Independent (UK) It just isn't scary. Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Tasha Robinson Polygon There are a lot of tricks in this movie, and a lot of treats - that isn't just a cheesy Halloween reference, it's the visible intended design of this funny, weird, sometimes actually unsettling movie. Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Caroline Narby Bitch Media I really enjoyed the story in Trick 'r Treat that features Rhonda, a clearly autistic girl. Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Bryce Hanson Horror Movie Talk The seven stories told throughout the film are of varying quality and complexity, but the non-linear narrative structure keeps the audience engaged and never dwells on one story long enough to bore the audience. Rated: 6/10 Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Not only are all of the segments campy and fun in their own right, the complete embrace of Halloween iconography and atmosphere makes this the seminal All Hallows' Eve anthology. Rated: 5/5 Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Zofia Wijaszka Nerdspin Since its debut in 2007, "Trick ‘r Treat" has become an essential watch, mandatory during each Halloween season. Even knowing the outcome, we return to it year after year, as its themes continue to resonate with us. Rated: A Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Juandi This was my 2nd time watching this after 10 years. I’ll admit it wasn’t as great as I remembered it being but it’s still a good movie. Original concept & story. It’s worth a watch if you’ve never seen it. I’m looking forward to the confirmed sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/25/25 Full Review moviexgoer This movie captures Halloween night like no other, before or since... So glad that Sam finally gets the big-screen release he has deserved all these years! Quinn Lord, only around 8 years of age when this was filmed, plays the diminutive Sam with such ferocity, precision, and abandon-- all at once! "Trick 'r Treat", needless to say, is now a part of the horror/holiday iconography for a very good reason. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/22 Full Review Richard K it's a classic you should watch every year just like Charlie Brown. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/22 Full Review Kat Great plot and lots of Halloween decorations in movie that created that Halloween feel Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review Stacy Perfect Halloween movie. Great scares, not too much gore and a quirky story about the holiday. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/22 Full Review Ryan One of my favorite movies! Glad had a limited theater run. I would come back every year to see it in theaters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/22 Full Review Read all reviews
