A few years ago I recall reading about this upcoming horror movie that was coming out that critics and fans were really enjoying in pre-release screenings, but then that movie never made it to theaters and subsequently faded from my memory. Jump forward to last week when I was reading a forum that I frequent and to my surprise someone mentioned that the movie had made it's way to the dark alleys of the internet, meaning a good quality copy of it leaked. Now don't get me wrong, when I was in college almost 10 years ago, movie pirating was just starting to get big and I would have no problem downloading a movie that was still out in theaters, but after college I never really saw the point as I was starting to appreciate film more and had no problem giving the studios my money by going to the theater or buying the DVD. This left me with a dilemma. I really wanted to see Trick R Treat, but the only way to see it would have been to download it, but fearing that the studio would never release this in the theaters anyways, since it was supposed to come out in October of 2007, I took my chances and grabbed a copy and after watching it I have every intention of buying the DVD when it comes out.

I thought the movie was very good, very stylish and interesting and I like the idea of four interwoven stories that somehow kind of connect to each other in the end like Crash, 11:14 and a million other movies these days.
