**This review may contain spoilers** Linda (Jacqueline Giroux) is working as a babysitter for one of the most irritating kid (the son of the director by the way) I've ever seen on film. She does this only because the parents of the kid has a lot of money and she thinks she is going to get a pretty large amount of money for it. But what turns out as a nightmare by babysitting this annoying kid turns out even worse when a mental patient has escaped and he sets his goal towards the very same house that Linda and the kid is in. The mental patient does this to get his revenge on his ex-wife that sent him away to the "looneyhouse" several years earlier.Now this has to be one of the most boring films I've ever seen and that's simply because the pacing is so damn awful and the acting is absolutely horrendous. The only thing I was waiting for was at least one interesting death scene but not even that. It takes about 1 hour before the maniac arrives at the house and I just wanted someone to get rid of the damn kid.You do not care about any of the characters simply because there is barely any backstory to any of them not even the killer himself! If you wanna see about 4 minutes of David Carradine and 2 minutes of Steve Railsback sure there you go but there is not anything else to find interesting here... 1/10

Some guy gets put in a mental hospital by his wife. After some years, the guy escapes and is set out for vengeance against the wife. Meanwhile some stupid b**** has to babysit a fat ass kid and she becomes the target of the guy. As you can tell I don't pay attention to names.This movie sucked. It is a slasher movie but a rather pathetic one at that. It is light-hearted and stupid. Only 2 people die in this movie and their deaths were stupid. The film wastes most the time with this fat annoying brat playing pranks on this b**** and the stalker running around like a moron. And I'm telling you, this fat-ass kid was an irritant and I actually wish he got his fat-ass stabbed to death; not before having his face punch in repeatedly. Ugh! In addition to it all, the acting was annoying, the plot is sort of a rip-off of Halloween (though I usually disregard rip-offs because what the f*** do I care; as long as my fat ass was entertained) and blah blah blah. In conclusion: Don't expect anything short of a s#!+ fest in this movie. The deaths are very very minimal and everything else is abysmally stupid. Death to fat kids!

TRICK OR TREATS tries to be something but it miserably fails to be anything. Is it mainly trying to be some sort of slasher-inspired horror film using a Halloween-theme? Probably, but you can't really call it a horror movie. There's no suspense, no thrills, no gore, no memorable deaths, no nothing. Just a lot of talking, various hints at possible subplots that are no hints, really, but just goings-on that lead to absolutely nothing. Just a guy who escapes a mental institute to get revenge on his wife because she put him there. This is just a minimal plot-thread running through the film, as most of the other scenes feature an extremely annoying kid (the son of the lunatic) playing stupid Halloween pranks on his female baby-sitter. The chick fills her time with phoning her acting boyfriend (played by an under-used Steve Railsback, who's anything but memorable in this film) and telling the annoying kid stories like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". David Carradine plays the kid's step-dad and has, besides talking smooth to the baby-sitter, no reason to be in this film. Peter Jason (as the escaped lunatic dad), might come across as another familiar face (it should, actually, just watch some John Carpenter movies), but seeing him dress up as a nurse (with a bad wig) will just have you shaking your head, wishing this film would end.In all honesty, TRICK OR TREATS could have been an okay Halloween-themed horror flick if they had actually bothered to write a decent script. But it turned out a boring, uneventful piece of crap. With one of the most annoying 80's kids ever.Good Badness? No, simply no fun. 2/10 and 2/10

A female baby-sitter is watching a young prankster on Halloween night.The kid's dad is a murdering lunatic who just happens to break out of an asylum that very night.Gary Graver's "Trick or Treats" is a badly-lit and incredibly boring "Halloween" clone with almost no horror elements at all.The plot makes little sense and is filled with several disjointed and out-of-place situations.I have also seen Gary Graver's "Moon in Scorpio" and it was equally as bad and pointless.The utter lack of blood and gore is hard to forgive as is the lack of suspense and scares.Overall,"Trick or Treats" is a complete waste of time.Watch "Halloween" again and don't bother with this piece of cow dung.
