Synopsis
Hard Candy (2005) is David Slade's psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM. An online chat, a coffee shop, an invitation home. None of it plays out the way the older man assumed it would.
Fourteen-year-old Hayley has been messaging photographer Jeff for weeks. He's in his thirties, charming, sure of himself. They meet in person and head back to his place. Jeff thinks it's his lucky night. The girl, though, did not come for a date. She has a plan and a chillingly steady nerve. From there the camera rarely leaves a single apartment, where the roles of hunter and prey keep trading hands.
Slade built his feature debut as a two-hander, carried by Ellen (now Elliot) Page in an early breakout role opposite Patrick Wilson. Tight space, almost no score, dialogue used like a blade. Stream Hard Candy (2005) online on iFILM.
