Yes I have neglected this blog completely. I guess the biggest reason for that is lack of response, so I didn't really know if anyone reads it or not. But, I'm not about to delete it. It can serve as a look back on films I have seen and personal opinions.

Anyway, currently I'm watching Supernatural Season 1 on DVD. It's actually in it's seventh season this fall, but i never got around watching it. True Blood Season 1 on DVD is also on my watch-list. In between I'm watching NCIS from the beginning, to catch up on it.

In cinema news, I watched Harry Potter VII, Part 2 in 3D like millions of other people, and re-watched David Lynch's Inland Empire, a surreal look at betrayal and mysteries of love. Recommended, but only for Lynch fans.

As Halloween is approaching the search for a good Halloween night movie opens up. Well, search no more, here it is. Even though "Trick 'r Treat" is already two years old, it's coming out on DVD/BluRay now. It captures all that is Halloween: spooky stories, dark alleys, candy, scares and blood... But above all it offeres a unique story. Something that is lacking in recent Hollywood productions. It's almost like a very dark and twisted fairy tale. The Movie relies on ancient history about the holiday, yet brings with it something the audience can connect to. The basic premise is that it's Halloween night and children are trick or treating for candy. This serves as a basic backdrop on which various storylines unfold which are connected by the "killer". 

There is some mystery in this film, which keeps you guessing how all parts are connected. By the end everything is revealed and you are left wanting more. But it's not a movie which presents you the answer bluntly and without your involvment. It's not a Lynch movie of course, still the answers are not spellt in front of you. That's one aspect i liked. There are many twists in this movie. And that's another point i liked. I guess i wasn't expecting them and so they were a real schock sometimes. But nevertheless, they are good, spread evenly through the movie. Just when you think the story will go in one direction it will turn to another.

Scary images and a good original story. What more can you want for a perfect Halloween night...

10/10 Points from me.
