I just watched the film HARD CANDY. Artistically it was good. Good story; good cinematography. Really an overall good film. And I’m pleased that the director (David Slade) is going to direct the upcoming film 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, that is based of a graphic novel series by Steve Niles (one of my favorite writers). But, how the film played out made me a little angry.
***SPOILER***
The girl in the film ends up convincing the guy to kill himself because he’s done all of these dirty deeds. But the things this girl does…I’m mean damn, it’s some crazy shit. And she’s definitely more than a little fucked up. And she’s only fourteen! Now don’t get me wrong the guy deserved it. I’m mean he’s a pedophile and takes pictures of young teenage girls. I’m glad something was done to him, and I appreciate some one standing up for young girls that are preyed upon by those sick individuals. But, the girl also deserves some kind of punishment for what she’s done. She’s almost as twisted and deranged as he was. I felt I sympathized with the guy more than the girl. Now maybe that had something to do with me not seeing the first 15-20 minutes of the film. But, still. If this was a horror film she would have died too. Because in horror films no good deed goes undone.
