Cult Film Friday: Trick Or Treats (1982)

Another straight-to-video movie. Babysitter, Halloween, deranged slasher escapes from a lunatic asylum... Sound familiar? Unfortunately this movie stopped there when it came to emulating more famous slice-n-dice slasher movies themed around Halloween. Bloodless, boob-less and brain-less. with a weak story-line that's padded with the child being baby-sat playing pranks on the babysitter. With the addition of low-lighting (they obviously didn't have the budget to even pay the electricity bill), low-body count, low-quality and it would seem low expectations even of itself.

Bizarrely, and for any cult film fan this maybe the selling point, the movie features a whole 3 minutes of David Carradine. Apparently the Carradine footage was spliced in having been filmed a couple of years previous. Or some rumour has it.

There literally nothing redeeming about this painting-by-numbers so called slasher flick, apart from checking it off the list.
