Interwoven stories demonstrate that some traditions are best not forgotten as the residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween. Tales of terror reveal the consequences of extinguishing a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight and a grumpy hermit's encounter with a sinister trick-or-treater.

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.

I really enjoyed the story in Trick 'r Treat that features Rhonda, a clearly autistic girl.

This slick and twisted effort should enjoy lengthy shelf life as a Halloween perennial.

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.

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

[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.

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.

Perfect Halloween movie. Great scares, not too much gore and a quirky story about the holiday.
