Dead By Dawn Report: Hard Candy Review
Posted by Todd Brown at 8:45am.
Posted in Film & DVD Reviews , Horror, USA & Canada, Random Festival News.
Filmstalker’s Richard Brunton has been a good friend to Twitch from the very early days. He covered last year’s Edingurgh Film Festival for us and this year he’s agreed to feed us constant reports from Dead By Dawn, Scotland’s finest horror fest. Here’s his take on Hard Candy, the opening film there which he enjoyed a good bit more than I did ...
This was my first attendance at Dead By Dawn, and I have to say it was a very strong opener. Film one, night one, began with a little introduction speech by the founder and Director who informed us how hard a job she had this year trying to find good films, a short dig at Eli Roth was fired and received a surprisingly positive response. Then came the rules of the house, weak bladdered males with pints were warned, gossiping people were threatened and glowing screens were ruled out as a serious faux pas. Already I liked this woman.

What was the short dig? Inquiring minds want to know!

Live comments direct from the foyer of the Filmhouse, the power of technology!
The dig at Roth? That his films aren’t very good and in particular Hostel. I disagree, but we all have different tastes.
