OMG... can I just say that this movie was really really good. Omar Epps in the lead role and a few supporting cast cameos from the "Scream" movies. Definitely gives a nod to Scream but without the comedic undertones. This was a very decent slasher film. I may be biased bc I'm a huge Omar Epps fan but the storyline and unexpected plot twists gets a recc from me. (streaming on Hulu). The body count starts as soon as the movie opens. By the time the movie ends, I know the body count numbers had to be at least 50-
‘Trick’: Exclusive First Look at Omar Epps in Patrick Lussier’s Slasher [Interview]
Writer
Todd Farmer and director
Patrick Lussier, who collaborated on
My Bloody Valentine 3D and
Drive Angry, reteamed on
Trick, a brand new Halloween-themed horror film that’s heading to the ongoing Cannes market. Bloody Disgusting has an exclusive first look at
Omar Epps in the main role of Detective Mike Denver, a man obsessed with a killer that has eluded him for years.
The story centers on an elusive serial killer, who descends upon a small town
annually. He is responsible for gruesome murders year after year, each seemingly unrelated. No one believes this could be the same killer. Detective Denver (Epps) has faced Trick once before, having shot and killed him. Or so everyone keeps telling him. However, Denver knows Trick is still out there, and he’s coming back for revenge.
“Todd and I wanted
Trick to pay both homage to its genre predecessors and cut a new trail with its slasher-noire set up,” Lussier tells Bloody Disgusting.
fits pretty well to me
