Hard Candy 5/10
It's horror, like Misery was a horror film. I might say, kind of Misery meets Sex, Lies and Video tape. Or should I say Misery meets Juno. I was very lucky that I didn't know anything about the film; that's the way I like it. I like the turn of the tables, and introspection. Other than that, I thought the writing was good in parts, the directing & acting were good - and it had to be because the material was really stretched to the limit at 1hr 44mins. I admired the subject matter, took the ride, but found most of it a little too precious (pretentious & bit unbelievable). I don't think horror & suspense was its strong suit. |

Indie and low-budget filmmakers take note - this is how you make an effective and good horror film on a limited budget with a single setting. Shrug off the first 15-20 minutes, and what follows is an exquisite sequence of events which would make any independent filmmaker proud. Characterisation is good enough, there's PLENTY of gore, and one very clever kill which will impress you to no end. Not quite THE exceptional film, but it has enough to impress any contemporary horror fan, which is saying a LOT. Very promising. Very recommended. * * * ½ |

Tusk -- 8.5/10; Most reviewers missed the mark here. This is a straight-up horror comedy, with some parts being blacker than others. There is no great tonal shift. The leads are great, the creation disturbingly hilarious.
