Usually these type of horror movies are just bad in general but, for me, over the top gore and unneeded nudity make the movie at least a bit enjoyable. That is why I hate the pg-13 trend going on with horror movies. | | Static Link |

I simply don't understand why its being completely dumped. Its rare that we get a horror film that not only takes place on Halloween but seems to celebrate it as well. I really wanted to see this. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: MisterTwister at May 18, 2008, 8:41 pm | | Topic: Will Trick R Treat Ever See A Release? Forum: JoBlo | | I was replying to your "fails to capture the feel of Halloween" comment but I totally get what you're saying. Even though I love the Saw series, why not release a film actually about halloween on Halloween? Warner Bros. are dumbshits for dropping this. Both BD and Fangoria gave this glowing reviews and I gurantee us horror nuts would've ate it up with a spoon. | | Static Link |

I know that Saw has nothing to do with holiday of Halloween, but I only compare it with Trick R Treat because the Saw films are always released around that time and the studios know that film goers will want to see something creepy. When was the last time you even remember a film being released around Halloween that had something to do with the actual holiday? There was even a positive early review of the film last year by Bloody Disgusting I think...it was called an instant cult classic. | | Static Link |

However, for some odd reason Warner Brothers dropped the film and it's been floating around waiting for a distributor ever since. Does anyone know if it'll be released this fall? What the hell is going on with this movie? It'll be a shame if it never sees a release... | | Static Link |
