Hard Candy (DVD)

Provocative thriller from director David Slade. For three weeks, 14-year-old Hayley Stark (Ellen Page) has been chatting on-line with 'Lensmaster319', a 32-year old fashion photographer, named Jeff (Patrick Wilson). The two agree to meet at a coffee shop called Nighthawks and they hit it off, despite the massive age difference. Hayley appears to flirt with Jeff, and Jeff generally restrains himself, even admitting that he must wait four years before he can be with her. But his reservations are apparently not enough to decline when Hayley all but invites herself over to his house. It's not long before Jeff's underage guest is pouring drinks and posing provocatively for an impromptu photo shoot. As the evening's questionable activities take a decidedly sordid slant and the raptorial Jeff appears poised to strike, a sudden turn of events finds that his apparent victim has had a plan of her own from the very beginning.

Review This Product

Worthwhile

Mon, 2 Jul 2018 | Review by: Jade W.

While the plot is somewhat unrealistic, and Patrick Wilson's character spends the majority of the movie terrorized by a small 14 year old girl, I found it entertaining. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see the tables turned on the bad guy in the most satisfying of ways, as well as anyone who enjoys psychological warfare.
