★★ Hard Candy

[Twinkletoes: 2.0]

Here we have a film about a 30 something man and the early teen girl he picked up online who may not be quite what she seems. I think what we have here is a film that is trying to be topical and edgy but in the end that topicality is little more than attempt to make this film something more than it is, a VERY gruesome revenge/horror film. The whole thing, while effectively creepy, felt a little contrived.
