Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Aruneshwar Singh Sometimes it takes a while for a film to fully be appreciated. After I watched the film, I gave it only a 6/10 as I felt it was okay, even though I really enjoyed it and liked the script. However, after a year has passed I thought I would come back and give it some thought and I realized that It is a really food film with a very good script and deserves to be up there with other similar horror movies of note.
punisherversion1 The Devil's Candy: Written and directed by Sean Byrne.This movie was highly recommended on various review sites. I saw it pop up again and again. I finally gave in and decided to watch it. Demons and heavy metal got my attention. I enjoyed Deathgasm and it seemed like this might be in a similar vein. It is not that at all. It is a slow paced artsy style horror movie that feels like it might be a supernatural haunting film. Right from the very beginning, the movie starts to lose me. This family moves into this great big farmhouse in rural Texas. It's in the middle of nowhere and they have only one car. It's as old as dirt. It's the station wagon from Vacation. The mother talks about taking the bus to the salon where she works. The dad is an artist. There's no way they can afford this house even with a murder taking place there dropping the price down.This movie loses credibility from the get go. It has me asking questions that I really should not be asking. The heavy metal stuff doesn't play as integral a part in the story as it seems from the beginning. It is just character dressing. It tries to make them different from your average person who finds themselves in this situation. It's a little unsettling in the presentation. I did enjoy the camera work a bit. But this movie is a lot of window dressing. It is a generic home invasion story with devilish elements. It is a short film but it feels so much longer. It is a dull movie. I simply can not recommend this one. Try again another time. I give this film a D.
GL84 Moving into a new house, an artist and his family into a remote house and slowly succumbs to a dark, sinister force within the house that affects not only his relationships with everyone else but the quality of work he starts creating which soon puts the rest of his family in extreme danger.This was quite the enjoyable and chilling effort. Among the fine points throughout here is the fact that there's a typically creepy and chilling location at the heart of the film. These films are based on the type of setting being utilized and this has a spectacular one, as the old-school wooden construction, large open spaces and general feeling of darkness seeping through the walls of the house which creates quite a strong and chilling impression. That's even before it starts in on the houses' history that includes the original backstory and the overall manifestation that pops up throughout here with the ghastly voices whispering continuously in his head that brings out the new style of painting in his artwork. The slow descent into madness he finds himself as the artwork becomes darker and far more intense inspired by the time in the house is an exceptionally enjoyable slow-burn storyline that pays off nicely here with the way it works itself out in the darker paintings he creates. When it slowly starts to dawn on everyone that he's falling into the same traps as those who were in the house before him which lets this one maintain a rather creepy feeling throughout here. Once it begins to invoke the concept of the intruder coming into their lives who invades their lives in one of the finest scenes here in his botched invasion attempt which is a chilling concept that gets utilized effectively in here and leads into the emotionally draining and charged final half which just enhances this one with a flurry of disturbing concepts, frantic action and a truly vicious streak that's fun to watch. How it plays off the brawling and stalking taking place in the burning house gives this a strong element of action while the burning walls leave a fine visual impression during that time and create a truly enjoyable and memorable image at the right time. Given that this one manages to incorporate all this into the stellar family relationship angle at the heart of it all makes for quite an impression as well, and given the fun pace and quantity of gore these here all make for quite an enjoyable time here. There isn't much to bring this down, which mostly stems from the overall lack of conventional haunted house tactics throughout here. This one goes for the subliminal in their scare tactics rather than throwing tons of jump scares out there, and that might be somewhat problematic for some who go for a more traditional pace. Otherwise, there's not much else to hold this one down.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence and mild drug use.
a amiri From the beginning, this movie starts to show itself as different. It starts with creepy murmurings of the Devil and a loud distorted guitar chord which has a frightening feeling to it.All of a sudden, I got more serious regarding this movies- I need to know what will happen next. Well, most of the horror movies are jokes compared to The Devil's Candy. Don't get fooled by the title and the cliché poster. Don't miss this good movies. The direction is clever. The acting is great, it makes you follow every second. It has a good and logical story to it.I give 7 to this movie because still it has its own weaknesses. At times, you can say that the good acting has become overacting and caused excessive, unnecessary distress. Or you can say that the story portrays the Police as bunch of losers... But anyway!Kudos to Shean Byrne.
