Review of The Devil's Candy (2016) by Whiskeystories — 06 Jan 2018

Short and sweet, a bit too short in my opinion. At face value this film feels kind of unfinished, with a story that's not fully fleshed out and a bit too simple, too quaint. Frustratingly so. But as I analyzed (and researched) the films symbolysms I grew to love its underlying themes.

The Devil's Candy clearly has its problems making it far from being perfect, but the fantastic acting, its overflowing stylishness and messages about passion, sacrifice and family really make it a stand-out horror feature.

It's not love at first sight, but it's a uniquely poetic and effectively disturbing film.
