I absolutely loved the movie. I had been waiting 2 years to see it and i wasn't disappointed at all. I knew going into the movie that it was gonna be a camp fest and that's exactly why i enjoyed it so much. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it's just a great popcorn horror flick that you can throw in during october and just have fun while watching it. It's definitely in my top 5 movies to watch during the Halloween season, but if you went into it expecting to be scared i can see why you might not enjoy it a whole lot.
There seems to be 2 feelings toward this film, most people either love it or were flat out disappointed. For me, the people who enjoyed it are probably the same people who grew up watching creepshow, tales from the darkside, tales from the crypt, etc. Great horror movies full of dark humor. If you've never seen any of those movies or aren't a fan of them, then yes, you probably won't enjoy Trick 'R Treat.
Go back and give it a second watch and instead of looking for scares look for all the dark humor in it.
POSSIBLE SPOILER*********************************
the scene where sam slides across the floor and hits the wall, i laughed my ass off. It reminded me of the story 'fathers day' from creepshow when they do a flashback of aunt bedilias fiance's 'hunting accident' So funny.
