One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Following the generally favorable reviews, I thought "The Devil's Candy" would at least be above average. It's not. Even at less than 80 minutes (the last four or five minutes are devoted to credits), the film is slow-paced. The best scenes include the big guy with the flying V guitar and a big Marshall amp. Is this movie a horror movie? Almost, but not quite. Is this movie a thriller? Almost, but not quite. Or, does it fail in both genres? Don't bother to decide. Don't watch it.

Now, see, this is what a Rob Zombie movie should be.Definitely one of the most effective and satisfying horror movies of the past several years. While it's not perfect, it hit ALL it needed to and never overstayed its welcome.What started off as a roll-of-my-eyes quickly redeemed itself as the plot veered far away from the old horror movie tropes. A family moves into a bargain of a house after a murder had taken place. Not your average, every day murder, but that's the whole point.Naturally, they family (Mom, Dad, Teen) are not well off, but they got some artistic dreams. While the father hears stirs of echoes in his head, the most obvious creepy stalker of kids finds this teen as his latest obsession.There's a lot going on in the plot, but mercifully, the straight arrow – the one most interesting to follow – is on target to get this nicely wrapped up with an ending I always crave, though rarely see. Highly recommended. It feels small, low budget and simultaneously ambitious with what they were provided. Definitely a must for horror fans. Totally rocks!***Final thoughts: Here's another I missed during my horror-movie-month obsession of October. Luckily it FINALLY came available on Netflix, and I glad I saw it, even if just a bit outside October.

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.

This movie is amazing. No stupid twists or turns. It doesn't try to be witty or smart. It's a good ol'fashioned scary ( not horror ) movie. The acting is superb. Ethan Embry is almost unrecognizable as an Iggy Pop-esque painter / Artist. This dude did some work to get in shape, I had to pause it and think " Is this the guy that played the kid in the movie Dutch?". Pruitt Taylor Vince is amazing. He is one of the most important yet underrated actors of our time. It has a good story line that doesn't try to be too serious about its self. As a music fan, I was impressed by the soundtrack and was more impressed they got the rights to a Metallica song! In the early 90's Metallica turned down John Carpenter when he asked to use Enter Sand Man in his movie " The Mouth of madness" and Carpenter is a legend.This is a fun movie for fans of visual effects , story and sound track.
