Marketed as a horror picture, this is more of a drama with elements of the macabre. Fast moving and exciting, with an absorbing cast and plot. Also excellent night-time photography. It may feel like a bit of a letdown, but still worth your time.

jmbovan-47-16017314 June 2021So trying to get out of one's past life is harder than one might think. Interesting film that becomes more interesting at the end. Acting and direction are good, and production solid. The main problem I have with the film is that all the characters are miserable in their lives, leading me not to care about the outcome.

stevelivesey6711 February 2021It was nice to see Blackpool used as the set location in a movie for once, but this was hamstrung by budget, script and, in some cases, the acting. Craig Lynch was as good as ever, so was Jessamine Bliss Bell, Frances Barber not. The final twist makes it interesting but cannot explain away all the plotholes. A shame, as it had the makings of a good, budget version of 'The Game'.

bombersflyup2 June 2020Trick or Treat is the former, not the latter.
You can't play practical jokes when dealing with life and death. The humour that lasts all of one minute, doesn't make it worthwhile. His actions are ridiculous anyway, you have a wife and child and they know where you live. -
mwoodsford9 June 2020Being from Blackpool and seeing the local paper sing it's praises, I thought I'd give it a go. I usually like Craig Kelly but this was basically a poor man's Lock Stock. Unnecessary foul language, wooden acting and an ending that could be seen from space.

pietclausen2 June 2020The movie starts with endless, boring nattering between two guys, but after 15 minutes it's enough to realize this film is nothing but a trick to get you watching. Don't waste your time. The actors don't know how to act either - that must be the treat part.

diane-439-4340441 June 2020Great film with superb acting. and love Blackpool city. If you're from Blackpool, you should watch. If you're from rest of UK, you should also watch.

nogodnomasters19 October 2020On Halloween, Greg (Craig Kelly) is visited by gangsters he used to work with. They are looking for his brother (Dean Lennox Kelly) who was with the missing boss' son. During the night Greg discovers his brother has killed him and is cheating with his wife.
The film was okay. What made the film was the twist at the end. Again this is similar to a Hitchcock TV episode.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. -
wadboxmail13 June 2020Blackpool shines in this twisty British thriller and Trick Or Treat unravels steadily before firmly finding the accelerator. Quality British screen names also shine with the likes of Jason Flemyng, Shaun Parks and Frances Barber doing what they do best, and the Kelly brothers taking the leads in this tense who - what - why - when - done it... Polished, domestic indie. No spoilers, give it a go.

rossboyask-12 June 2020A veritable who's who of UK acting talent - Jason Flemyng, Shaun Parkes, Frances Barber, Hugo Speer and many more - and a great script propel this intense, fast-paced UK crime thriller. There are twists galore, funny moments throughout, and the illuminations of Blackpool makes for a unique cinematic backdrop. The film is also a well-thought out meditation on male mid-life crisis, but never gets bogged down in it. Well worth a watch.

jessicafellowes-979042 June 2020Great movie. Stellar performances by the Kelly brothers, and the script is full of dark, dry British humour (think 'Lock, Stock...') with a superb ending. Cult potential.

Great to see our fine crop of British actors doing their thing again in this lively film. Interesting characters we get to know at a good pace, with the holy-grail of Blackpool as a back-drop. Expect the b&b's to be inundated once we're allowed out again. Nice script. Right bit of humour and edge in this dark twisty plot. Good fun. Enjoy it. I'll be watching it again at the end of October.

Great thriller with lots of tricks and plenty of visual treats. Class cast and performances. Special cameo too. See it, you won't be disappointed - and you don't have to British. It's about being past your peak, or is it?

lauriepiper12 June 2020What a pleasant surprise! A quirky, original Brit movie that keeps taking unexpected plot turns and builds to a very satisfying climax.
Craig Kelly gives a fantastic performance in the lead role. He is totally convincing as a former 90s "lad" who has lost his mojo after returning to his home town of Blackpool and becoming a father. He is pulled into a nightmarishly bizarre situation by his brother (a very strong -and funny-performance by Kelly's real life brother, Dean).
A strong supporting cast give a range of deliberately eccentric performances. All production credits are high. I was particularly impressed by the cinematography-Blackpool has never looked so strangely beautiful. -
geeg-9211611 June 2020This is a brilliant British thriller with plenty of dark humour and unexpected twists and turns. A great cast and superb performances from the lead actors. Watch!!

Great movie!! I was told to give it a watch by a friend who said, it may not be your thing, but give it a go as it's a really interesting movie. It did not dissapoint!! I thoroughly enjoyed it, found it unique and different to many of the cliche films we are now seeing and I found that actor(s) great!! The movie keeps you on your toes from start to finish and is funny, intense, mysterious and dark at different times. Definitely worth a watch and 10 stars for being a low budget independent English movie. My wife and I are actually hoping for a sequel!!hehe
Give it watch people and support these great Indie movies. -
dan-506618 July 2020Dark, gritty and real. Great characters, great backdrop, a great British movie.
