Three trick or treaters dressed as a clown, a skull, and a devil meet up to go trick or treating for the night, and decide to pay an old friend named Jerry a visit.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Despite being bored with modern Halloween traditions, they persist in their meeting and intend on paying their old friend Jerry a visit. What seems like a normal trick or treat stop transforms in to a bid of revenge for the trio of teenagers, all of whom have a bone to pick with Jerry. They\u2019re not exactly who they seem, and the film immediately transforms in to a horrifying tale of how spooks from beyond the grave can come back to bite you in the butt; Even if it\u2019s many years later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrank\u201d is your classic revenge horror film, with a prank taken way too far, and the heinous act coming back to rise to the surface. The special effects for \u201cPrank\u201d are pretty excellent, with some top notch burn make up on display. The reveal of our teen terrors is quite startling, especially the way Weight keeps them hidden until they begin to glimmer in the haunting light of fire. \u201cPrank\u201d is a very good short film from Weight, who has a real knack for storytelling. The film has a sick sense of humor to it, while also unfolding as a very eerie tale of comeuppance on Halloween.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s ever a testament to the supernatural element of Halloween, it\u2019s Alex Weight&#8217;s \u201cPrank.\u201d Set on Halloween night, director Weight examines what happens when a prank goes one step too far.
