4.0 out of 5 stars
Treat. Definitely Treat.,
By
This review is from: Trick Or Treat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Sometimes a movie can become a perfect little time capsule. "Trick or Treat" is such a movie. I have no idea how seriously the filmmakers intended it to be (the casting implies their tongues were quite firmly lodged in their cheeks), but it hits on, and satirizes, so many themes of its time - the alienation of outsiders, the perceived danger of heavy metal lyrics & backward masking, the fear of satanism - that I have to believe there's some kind of genius at work here.It's not a perfect flick, by any stretch. It isn't the least bit scary, for one, and it has some awkward dialogue and pacing. But darned if it doesn't hold up as a nifty little satire. Oh, and the scene where the dead metal star seduces the girl through her walkman - that's pretty hot, and pretty much caters directly to the frustrated adolescent male mind. Which only illustrates the point more. I'm a sucker for good genre movies, so I'm a sucker for "Trick or Treat." Plus it's great to see Skippy try to stretch a little.

A good sounding heavy metal band of the 80's!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Trick Or Treat (1986 Film) (Audio CD)
The movie was alot of fun to watch which featured Marc Price(The Keaton's neighbor Skippy on "Family Ties")who does an energetic performance in the movie. I thought that Fastway did very well with their music for the movie. I really like "Stand Up." Other great numbers are "After Midnight", "Get Tough", "Don't Stop the Fight" and the theme song "Trick Or Treat." Tony Fields plays the dead rocker Sammi Curr who lipsynchs to the songs. If you have the soundtrack, and haven't seen the movie yet, watch it on Halloween, you'll want to eat it up!

This review is from: Trick Or Treat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
IF YOU LOVE ROCK AND ROLL YOU WILL DEFINATELY LIKE THIS MOVIE.WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCES BY SUCH ROCK AND ROLLERS AS OZZY OSBOURNE AND GENE SIMMONS OF KISS, THIS MOVIE CAN STRIKE AN INTEREST TO AN ALMOST DEAD GENRE.
