Trick 'r Treat

A Month Of Halloweenie Reviews #8

Fun, beautifully shot DTV horror anthology. Let's take a look at the horror anthology chart to see where it fits:

Creepshow > Trick 'r Treat > Cat's Eye > Tales From The Darkside: The Movie > Tales From The Hood > Twilight Zone: The Movie > Creepshow 2 > Dr. Terror's House Of Horrors > Creepshow 3

Not a bad showing - number 2 right out of the gate.

RATING: 80%

Idiocracy

Directed by Mike Judge, Idiocracy was released direct to DVD in 2007. In the movie, a librarian and a prostitute who are put into suspended animation for 500 years wake up to a world where everyone is an idiot. The movie is a science ficitony satire of corporations and dysgenics. Despite having some very clever ideas and jokes, the movie has some noticeable plot and structure issues. Much like Office Space, Mike Judge's previous movie, Idiocracy has become a cult favorite.

Rating: Harrison Bergeron without the bureaucracy%
