Review of Hard Candy (2005) by Hanul C — 14 Sep 2014
(58%).
One of the very few films featuring torture from the period when Hostel and the Saw movies were raking in the cash and grabbing all the headlines that actually has some substance to go with the chills.
Ellen Page is very good here playing an intelligent teenager to an almost faultless degree, even if she is better than the movie itself.
There are a few flaws that at times took me out of the movie though one of them included how an unaided young woman of around 98 pounds could get an adult male into some of the situations featured. But I'm willing to look past them because this is a powerful piece of filmmaking that I found very painful to watch, and a unique addition to the revenge genre.
