Lussier and Farmer fill their film with set-pieces: a daring hospital escape, an elaborate death-trap for the cops, a carnival-style "haunted maze" populated by potential murderers and so on. Some work fairly well; others are too preposterous
hardcore gorehounds will be disappointed by the lukewarm scares; Anyone who's seen a film will groan at the stupidity of it all. Considering his experience, Patrick Lussier should've done better than this
at every level, from technical to story, "Trick" is a joyless affair. everything looks and feels flat; It's mind-boggling, considering the films Lussier and Farmer have delivered. Those searching for Halloween viewing treats won't find it here
a slasher film with a dull edge; "Trick", is definitely no treat; The pic might have proved mindless fun if it had least displayed a sense of humor, but everything is played with deadly seriousness
"Trick" certainly delivers what slasher fans would want; the script, co-written by Lussier and Farmer, takes a very unexpected turn, and you realize that "Trick" is playing a much grander game than your run-of-the-mill killer on the loose story
