Hard Candy

[Bomper]

If you get a chance, watch this - it's awesome!!

It is very good, saw it when it was on at cinema

my dh found it hard to watch in some parts
i thought i waqs very good

who was she? the other girls friend/sister

It is very good - a little bit long I thought be very good performances.

Did you feel sorry for the guy - or not?

i did and i didnt

Me too. I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her though

I found this film very unsettling- which obviously is the point- but struggled with it for days afterwards. I suppose this may be the mark of a good film, one that doesn't leave you and it certainly sparked several debates about vigilante justice between me and DH.

Well acted film though and interestingly shot. Not sure I could watch it again.

I saw it on Friday... Very well acted, very unsettling.

Great film

yes i liked this too

ive meant to watch this for ages, so when the lake house didnt work in the xbox we put it on. i love films that get you thinking and are risky/controversial topics so i enjoyed it but dh really didnt - he said you didnt tell me it was a horror film lol!!!!

I'm dragging up this old thread because I've just seen Hard Candy for the first time. On the poster there is a review quotation saying something like "absolutely terrifying" - is it just me or did anyone else not actually find it very scary? I think because Jeff had done such awful things, I didn't really care about what happened to him because he seemed to deserve it. In most typical horror films it's an evil antagonist threatening the innocent hero(ine), so there is the tension and fear of "oh I hope he/she doesn't get killed", whereas in Hard Candy the "victim" is the bad guy and the attacker is a kind of anti-hero you can't decide whether to cheer for or be scared of, so it doesn't really have the effect of a horror film. I really liked the film, I think it will be in my head for a while.

Disturbing, not scary.

I think the "absolutely terrifying" tag probably refers to one particular scene--and was written by a man!
