Film Reviews @ Suddenly, a shot rang out

A Tricky Treat/Shortcut (Shorts) (Final Girls Berlin Film Festival 2017)

Playing in Final Girls’s Dying of Laughter shorts program is the comic A Tricky Treat, from director Patricia Chica, about one family’s worrying Halloween tradition. Less predictable than one might expect, this film takes a twist that I recall coming up in the anthology film Trick R’ Treat and gives it another little turn, resulting in a horror short that’s essentially a visual joke.
