Product Description:
"Two Thumbs Up." - Ebert & RoeperA smart charming teenage girl Hayley probably shouldn't be going to a local coffee shop to meet Jeff a 30-something fashion photographer she met on the Internet. But before she knows it she's mixing drinks at Jeff's place and stripping for an impromptu photo shoot. It's Jeff's lucky night. But Hayley isn't as innocent as she looks and the night takes a turn when she begins to impose a hard-hitting investigation on Jeff in an attempt to reveal his possibly scandalous past.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 031398201168 Manufacturer No: 20116

Amazon.com:
The supercharged possibilities of a single set and two amped-up actors are explored in Hard Candy, a twisted cocktail with a poison kicker. After a flirtatious encounter in an online chat room, two people agree to meet for coffee: a 32-year-old man (Patrick Wilson) and a 14-year-old girl (Ellen Page). They quickly advance to his house, and just as quickly, the apparent pedophilic seduction morphs into something else entirely. After the tables turn, Hard Candy becomes a tale of revenge and torture that might have tempted a filmmaker like Park Chanwook. Here, first-time feature director David Slade opts for a slick look that stays close to the actors, and you can't really blame him--this movie is like a conceptual, more-than-slightly unbelievable off-Broadway play, a showcase for actors and "controversial" ideas. Those actors are strong: Patrick Wilson (Angels in America, Phantom of the Opera) is every bit as creepy as he needs to be, and Ellen Page has nothing short of a triumph. The Canadian actress was around 18 when she shot the film, but looks like an adolescent, which makes her authoritative wrath all the more shocking to witness. The provocations of Hard Candy sometimes seem arbitrary or forced, but Page's electrifying performance can't be denied, or dismissed. --Robert Horton

Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Scary movie with a questionable message (SPOILERS)
Solid acting by Ellen Page, who carries this off without a hitch - although in some ways you wonder how a teenage girl could be sophisticated like this. Entertaining, and a bit of a nail biter.

SPOLER ALERT --- Don't read this if you haven't seen the movie, or care to be surprised
There's some fundamental part of the movie I really dislike, and it's the only reason I've bothered to post on this film (there are much better films I have seen recently, none as deserving of a social ... Read More

Rating:

- Ellen Page is quite the actress.....even though she is very young
she played the innocent very well. At first I thought this would be about the little girl getting murdered by a pedophile, but it took a while to see that she was out for revenge. It's not quite clear if the young girl he took pictures of being murdered was her girlfriend or just a girl she wanted to avenge. It was well written and acted, and I can see Ellen going on to a fab career in the movies she was terrific.

Rating:

- A good film, but impossible to identify with
"Hard Candy" takes the notion of young girls in chat rooms being the prey of pedophiles and turns it on its head by having a young girl stalking pedophiles in chat rooms. At the start of this film, 14 year old Hayley (Ellen Page) meets up with 30 year old Jeff (Patrick Wilson), a man she met in a chat room, but rather than becoming yet another victim of child abuse, Hayley takes matters into her own hands, and pretty soon it's Jeff who's begging for mercy and not Hayley.

- He who fights monsters must see that he does not become a monster himself...
For its relatively short length and somewhat minimalistic setting, "Hard Candy" is a film that contains more depth and complexity than I could ever touch on all of in this review.

The story centers around two main characters, a young girl named Haley (Ellen Page), who meets an older man on the internet (Patrick Wilson, not to be confused with the drummer from Weezer) whom she suspects to be a sexual predator. At first, it appears that she is falling for his act and taking the bait, and ... Read More

Rating:

- A tangled web.
This movie is a fantastic tangled web of emotional mystery and twists. I won't ruin it, but the story started out being what I thought was a 'kidnap' tale with an older man hurting a young girl, but it has a surprise in store for the viewer. In Act I, you are not going to be sure who to feel sorry for. Hang in there, the story unravels in emotion and action that made my husband 'squirm' (slight giggle there). I pictured guys on the set doing the same during this particular scene. The web of lies is taken ... Read More
