In a world of remake crap- this ones fresh and good- just try it and you'll like it if you are into slasher movies... don't dissect or overthink it- just enjoy it- I'm certain you'll agree it's good!
Super cheesy but I really enjoyed this movie. But there's def worse movies. I didn't have high expectations going into it. Pretty gory. Lots of deaths. I'll put this below lumberjack man. People are way to critical with their reviews. It's not a movie that tries to be serious or tries to be a hit. Just is a fun over the top horror serial killer movie. Shesh just learn to be open minded and have fun with it. I give the people reviewing a 1 for being boring over critical reviewers and the movie a 6 for keeping me entertained
Maybe one or 2 scares. A bit thrilling. A bit goofy. Not too bad. Kinda an okay slasher film. Moderate twist in here! We enjoyed it. It's fun even if it's not the greatest
First off, I do find Patrick Lussier to be a talented guy. This was the fourth film I've seen of his, after Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine, and Drive Angry. I would rank Trick last out of those as I was a bit turned off by this film.
The movie opens with a Halloween party that gets gruesome after a kid named Trick starts slaughtering his acquaintances only to meet his match at the hospital at the hands of a detective played by Omar Epps, only the killer disappears, Michael Myers style. In each of the following Halloween's, the murders pop up again. Is it Trick, or is it a copycat? Only Epps believes that his nemesis Trick is continuing the onslaught.
My biggest problem with this film is the villain, and his continuous battles with Epps and his police cohorts. Trick wears a mask and paints his face and wears a hoodie. He looks more like a punk than a monster, and his constant twirling of a knife becomes bothersome. He also has a knack to run away from those pursuing him and their gunfire. He can slip out of their grasp like a fish.
Trick does have its moments and features plenty of blood for horror fans. Omar Epps is good in the lead and Tom Atkins is always welcome in a genre that he is no stranger to.
Trick ran in a whopping 1 theater here in Detroit and has not shown up in box office reports.

Ok, so the kills were done quite well and Omar Epps is always good for the money. However the camera, editing and direction are woeful, angles, interaction and the rest of the cast are terrible. It must have been on an experimental day/week etc.

This is an inside joke to Halloween 3 : Season of the Witch, in which Tom Atkins, who plays Talbott, starred as the protagonist. Halloween 3's story line revolved around Halloween masks that would kill the children wearing them.
