Verdict on Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat is a thriller following a man who gets an unexpected visit from his estranged brother. However, it takes him back into a criminal world that he has long left behind. As they spend the night trying to escape this life, things start to spiral out of control.
This is a movie that goes in a strange direction which you wouldn’t expect. It takes us through a series of events that involved twists and turns you don’t see coming. However, the mean spirited nature of everything going on, leads to things getting out of control. This is a movie that would have an easy comparison to another movie that takes a twisted birthday party down this direction. Although, it never hits the same shock value.
Where to Watch
JustWatchFinal Thoughts – Trick or Treat is a tense, twisted-filled thriller.
