A provocative drama about a 32-year-old man who takes home a 14-year-old girl he meets on the Internet - with surprising consequences.
Why do young girls fall for older men? Why do they allow themselves to get into dangerous situations? Why do they make it worse by getting themselves drunk and stripping off in front of smooth talking, high end fashion photographers?
Teenage Hayley (Ellen Page) and thirtysomething Jeff (Patrick Wilson) have been talking online for three weeks when they agree to meet at the Nighthawks coffee shop. Jeff's been meticulous in his research and put great effort into ensnaring young Hayley.
Handsome and charming, he's an expert conversationalist. She's smart, alluring and sensible. But then even clever girls make mistakes, don't they?
Hard Candy is a wonderfully orchestrated psychological thriller that'll have you wondering what's around each corner, as the plot twists and turns and then twists again.
Brian Nelson's almost perfect scripting is matched by David Slade's near flawless direction to produce a film that's full of delightful, pitch black humour and painfully tense moments.

Provocative thriller from director David Slade. For three weeks, 14-year-old Hayley Stark (Ellen Page) has been chatting on-line with 'Lensmaster319', a 32-year old fashion photographer, named Jeff (Patrick Wilson). The two agree to meet at a coffee shop called Nighthawks and they hit it off, despite the massive age difference. Hayley appears to flirt with Jeff, and Jeff generally restrains himself, even admitting that he must wait four years before he can be with her. But his reservations are apparently not enough to decline when Hayley all but invites herself over to his house. It's not long before Jeff's underage guest is pouring drinks and posing provocatively for an impromptu photo shoot. As the evening's questionable activities take a decidedly sordid slant and the raptorial Jeff appears poised to strike, a sudden turn of events finds that his apparent victim has had a plan of her own from the very beginning.
