195. Trick or Treats (1982)

April 18, 2014

Not to be confused with Trick or Treat (1986), or Trick 'r Treat (2007), Trick or Treats tells the flimsy story of a sane man committed to an insane asylum by his actually crazy wife and her crazy boyfriend. Wait, no it doesn't. That just happens at the beginning and sort of adds to what really happens, which is a whole lot of nothing. A babysitter gets stuck with an annoying kid on Halloween who keeps playing pranks on her all night long. The kid wants to be a magician and he has lots of cool tricks up his sleeve that drive the babysitter crazy. Then his real dad escapes from the mental institution after being locked up for five years and makes his way to the house with vengeance on his mind, but you don't really see him much. This movie needed some help, and probably could have been better.
