Terror na Noite

This is one of the dullest films I have ever watched. the acting is horrible and the is almost zero lighting. The rooms look like they are lit with one 50 watt bulb. There is even a bad movie within this bad movie that the baby sitter is featured in. Lab rats are more intelligent then the characters in this flick. No one realizes that Richard, the films killer, who dressed in drag to escape from a mental hospital, is really a guy underneath the nurses uniform. Even though Richard has a bit of a 5 o clock shadow! Richard can't tell the difference between the babysitter and his hag of an ex-wife. Do I sound bitter? Well I am. After having to watch five minutes of the kid I was ready to kill him myself and I'm willing to bet you will be to. ! This film will cure insomnia it is so bad.

Seriously????? I had to look at the IMDb category to make sure this wasn't a comedy. It's billed as horror. I knew from the opening scenes this one was gonna be an eye roller.

The problem is that it isn't funny in a good way. The movie suffers from bad acting (with no exceptions), too much padding, a bad script and bad lighting. Nuff said.

The babysitter is the worst case of a caretaker I've ever seen and the charge she's watching will start running your nerves in short order. She's quite inept for an older babysitter and its hard to feel anything for her but contempt.

Would I recommend? Nope.

This bottom-rung '80s slasher follows a much-too-old babysitter being stalked by an escaped mental patient on Halloween night. Never heard that synopsis before.

Anyways, I can't imagine anyone but the most avid slasher fan would even be on this movie's IMDb page, but even the biggest fan of slice-and-dice films is unlikely to get any fun out of this one. It's egregiously slow, with most of its running time dedicated to watching a child magician-in-training pulling cheap pranks on the babysitter character. The director didn't invest in any lighting equipment, making some of the proceedings all but impossible to follow. It's bloodless, breastless and suspenseless, which leaves the film an almost complete lack of entertainment.

There's rumblings of the film being a satire, but most of the humor is relegated to a padding scene featuring film editors. And that is heavy-handed and overdone. The rest of the film is neither clever or entertaining enough to be humorous.

Avoid, even though you do get about three minutes of creepy cougar David Carradine action. If you're looking for a cheesy, fun 80s movie for a Halloween night, 1986's TRICK OR TREAT is a much better choice.

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.

There are some good laughs in this. Cornball as it is, I seriously doubt it was intended to be labeled horror... at least until it gets towards the end. Could have done better. But hey, it was 1982 and low budget!
