Hard Candy

Critics and film buffs have been ranting and raving about how great Ellen Page is in this psychological horror show but you won't be adding me to that list. I'll give that she has amazing talent and is most certainly on her way to stardom but in my opinion she was just a tad shy of the mark here. I say this because with just a touch more acting skill this inide mind fuck could have been bloody brilliant instead of merely good. Still, in the growing age of internet stalking and child molestation HARD CANDY should be considered required viewing and everybody involved, including Page, have a lot to be proud of with this one. For those who are sick of the no holds barred style of SAW and HOSTEL, HARD CANDY will be a refreshing change...even if a distubing one.
