After premiering at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival, The Loved Ones director Sean Byrne’s heavy metal horror film, The Devil’s Candy, was nabbed by IFC for release in March of 2017.
But before then, it will see a release in Russia, which is the origin of this vicious international poster that would never pass by the MPAA here in the States.
The film, written and directed by Byrne, stars Ethan Embry, Shiri Appleby, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Kiara Glasco.
The film was produced by Keith Calder and Jessica Calder for Snoot Entertainment LLC (Blair Witch, You’re Next, The Guest).
In THE DEVIL’S CANDY, Jesse, a struggling artist, moves with his wife and daughter into their dream house in rural Texas, the price driven down by the property’s dark past. Their lives soon begin to unravel as the demonic forces lurking in the house take hold of the young family. Jesse’s paintings take a satanic turn while the family is plagued by Ray, the deranged son of the former owners. Soon it becomes clear that Jesse and Ray are both being influenced by the same dark forces and that Jesse and his family aren’t safe from its former inhabitants or indeed from the devil himself.
Watch a Russian trailer here. Thanks to Fabien M. for the tip.
