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.
