The most unforgettable horror movie about Halloween should be the first episode of "Moonlight Panic", but this movie is just a "classic" murder movie with a good atmosphere. In fact, it is not very rich and has little roots in Halloween. relation. I say that "Trick 'r Treat" is interesting because of its narrative style and the combination of various Western horror elements, which is quite rich and colorful. At the beginning of the film, there are some cartoon silhouettes, which may make the audience think that the film is an adaptation of a comic. In fact, in 2007, a comic adapted from this film will be released, but it was dragged down because the film was postponed.
The film begins with a couple complaining about Halloween, and the woman dies unexpectedly, opening the prelude to the film. Then, the film is recounted in flashbacks, and it stops abruptly when it reaches a climax. However, when we talk about the earlier plot, the time line is smooth from then on, and some "questions" left before are also answered, and finally the film comes to the beginning again Paragraph of couple complaining. This arrangement makes the film more suspenseful, and the interlacing of the characters makes the film like several independent stories gathered together, but the director has organized the whole characters in an orderly manner, which is like reading a very short story.
Werewolves, vampires, perverted killers, undead souls and other horror movie elements all appear in this film. The film interweaves several seemingly unrelated but vaguely intertwined plots into this Halloween rhapsody, and in the experiences of different characters There are different "twist bridges", so the audience will be surprised again and again during the viewing. The film's horror characters are also a highlight. Typical murderers, monsters, ghosts or ferocious animals always appear in turn in horror films, and the motive for killing (scaring) can always be estimated, or there is no motive at all. The horror characters in this film are kind of "cute", kind of hard to touch, and really smile when you find out their "identity" at the end. This "character" strung the whole film, until at the end it was discovered that the director used "him" to show that the festival itself was the real protagonist.
In fact, this film is not just a set of horror films, it uses the elements of typical horror films to "remind" people of the true meaning of the festival. Halloween is not originally a "festive" festival, its "festive activities" should be the sacrifice of the dead. Today, it has become a "carnival" festival for everyone, which can be reflected by looking at the "special programs" of the theme park. Or, there is a sense of respect and persistence for this festival in the heart of the director. It is precisely because of this statement, as well as some playfulness in typical elements, that this film becomes a considerable horror film work.
By the way, the film's previous rating on IMDB was staggeringly high, which inevitably made people feel fake. It would be reasonable to fall back to that level now.
