The supercharged possibilities of a single set and two amped-up actors are explored in Hard Candy, a twisted cocktail with a poison kicker. After a flirtatious encounter in an online chat room, two people agree to meet for coffee: a 32-year-old man (Patrick Wilson) and a 14-year-old girl (Ellen Page). They quickly advance to his house, and just as quickly, the apparent pedophilic seduction morphs into something else entirely. After the tables turn, Hard Candy becomes a tale of revenge and torture that might have tempted a filmmaker like Park Chanwook. Here, first-time feature director David Slade opts for a slick look that stays close to the actors, and you can't really blame him--this movie is like a conceptual, more-than-slightly unbelievable off-Broadway play, a showcase for actors and "controversial" ideas. Those actors are strong: Patrick Wilson (Angels in America, Phantom of the Opera) is every bit as creepy as he needs to be, and Ellen Page has nothing short of a triumph. The Canadian actress was around 18 when she shot the film, but looks like an adolescent, which makes her authoritative wrath all the more shocking to witness. The provocations of Hard Candy sometimes seem arbitrary or forced, but Page's electrifying performance can't be denied, or dismissed. --Robert Horton

I do love Ellen Page but for this film you would have to suspend disbelief to a state that just isn't available to me since I got into therapy.
You have to be able to buy that a 14 year old girl is able to first solve the disappearance and murder of another young girl that the police have been unable to solve.
Then that she has the technical abilities to trace the offender, engage him in a ruse that he will buy into and get her into his house whereupon she is able to GHB ... Read More

This was a good movie, suspenseful, you never know what's going to happen.
The end is confusing and I didn't like it that much, but overall it was good drama, interesting story.

regardless of what you think or how you feel about this film ; is that plausible ? is this aspect feasible ? could that play out like that ? you'll probably be gripping your chair and talking to the screen in your home . that's the goal . two excellent leads . a lot of great writing and acting . solid filmaking that will "tug" at your ability to weather a harrowing story .

Ok let me tell you upfront that i never write a review for a movie. But "Hard Candy" is one of the most SCARIEST movie EVER CREATED!
It is Completley terrifying and psychologically harrowing!!! Ellen Page was phenomenal! You're jaw will be dropped and won't be able to stay shut throughout the whole movie!! and hours before i still couldn't stop thinking and being totally engrossed in what i had just seen.
"Hard Candy" is a complete horror MASTERPIECE!!
