Trick (2019)

Recap:

So there’s this guy whose name is Patrick “Trick” Weaver or maybe not, because it may very well be that he casually switches identities whenever he sees fit. One evening he poops a Halloween party by killing pretty much every guest before he gets hit himself. He gets emergency surgery and survives, escapes, falls out of the window, survives and disappears, probably by jumping into the river, which of course means certain death, doesn’t it? Everybody except for one single cop believes that he’s dead, and that’s why everybody except for one cop is surprised that there are more Halloween party massacres in the following years. However, the slasher seems to think that his strategy does not draw enough attention, so one year he starts cop killing during the week before Halloween.

I say that the first Halloween party massacre was a good way to start the slasher movie, the bit with the cop who is the only one who believes in his theory is not new, but good enough to work for this movie, and some of the the cop killings are quite innovative. Then however, there is the Finale, and I think that it is not as good as it is long, and when there is the surprising plot twist, I did not foresee it, but at that point I just didn’t care anymore.

This movie sure is okay. Not really good, but I have seen much worse, and it surely is an adequate choice for a holiday related movie night.
