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 Joe Leydon Variety This slick and twisted effort should enjoy lengthy shelf life as a Halloween perennial. Nov 12, 2009 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 Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Horror anthologies are a dime-a-dozen, but they rarely work as well as this one does, with its brisk pacing and excellent casting, and its alluring combination of prankish humor and sincere dread. Rated: 4/5 Nov 13, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand [Director Michael] Dougherty takes a cue from Tarantino and plays with the format, stirring up, intercutting, and at times interweaving the strands into a smartly paced, playfully directed and entertainingly atmospheric collection.
