Trick or Treats (1982)

REVIEWER RATING: 
2/10


Lets not get this film confused with the other 80s movie with a similar name, Trick or Treat. This was incredibly boring. I didn't know much about it before seeing it; so once again, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. If I knew it was going to be this lame and boring I wouldn't have bothered.

The movie starts off when a man is hauled away by workers from a mental institution. He stays there for years until one day he decides to escape. He manages to get out and goes back home to find and kill his wife who put him in the institution in the first place. When he returns home he doesn't realize that his wife is out at a party and a babysitter and little boy are the only ones inside. They are forced to fend off against him.

What makes the movie so boring is the fact that over an hour of it is basically just the little boy playing tricks on the incredibly gullible babysitter. I felt like I was watching America’s Funniest Home Video's, minus the annoying host and stupid audience laughter. You'd never think it was a horror film for the first hour, aside from the fact that the mental patient has a knife and kills a person or two.

Trilogy of Terror II (1996)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Trilogy of Terror II is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. Having seen it when it first aired on the USA network a day before Halloween back in 1996, and being an impressionable young horror fan at the time, it was an enjoyable night's worth of entertainment that I never forgot. I decided to revisit that night by giving the film another look to see if it holds up from the last time I saw it, and to my surprise, it does.

Original co-writer/director Dan Curtis returns for this sequel, which is definitely a flawed film, but still managed to hold my attention from the start, delivering some predictable, but entertaining stories that in many respects are still more creative than what we get from the genre now-a-days.
