Shiri Appleby as Astrid in The Devil's Candy
The Big Picture When it comes to family, horror has a pretty solid understanding of the complex dynamics that can arise. Movies like Hereditary explore the darker sides of generational family trauma, while films like last year's The Boogeyman show strength found in a family fighting together against an evil force. However, one horror film from 2015 perfectly captures a wholesome, father-daughter relationship, and is actually all the more scary for it.
Release Date March 17, 2015 Director Sean Byrne Cast Ethan Embry , Shiri Appleby , Pruitt Taylor Vince , Kiara Glasco Runtime 79 minutes Writers Sean Byrne 'The Devil's Candy's' Grounded Intensity The pacing of The Devil's Candy is possibly the film's greatest strength. Unlike similar indie horrors, it is not a complete slow-burn. At the same time, though, it is not an absolute gore-fest with tons of scares at every corner.
The audience is introduced to Jesse and Zooey in their car on a rural road, metal blasting from their speaker. The two headbang along to the heavy music. Jesse has long hair and a well-trimmed beard, and Zooey has dyed hair. They are an adorable pair, their bond strong and meaningful from this very first scene. This continues throughout the movie, both of them well-paired and connecting through their aesthetic and musical tastes.
