Nothing to do with sweets. The tile refers to a newly released movie. It is promoted to follow in the footsteps of ‘Hostel’ (gore-wise) and the basic idea is that a paedophile brings a 15 year old girl to his house, but she drugs him instead.. The hunter becomes the hunted… Interesting idea, both from the role switching point of view as well as the social issue it deals with – in light of what can be seen in the news everyday, from individual cases to campaigns to change legislation.
Two interesting points. The gore or more precisely the lack of it. There is some violence yes, but what is particularly upsetting is what the audience perceives it is happening, without it being shown in graphic details. It gets better afterwards, as it keeps dealing with pain, in particular the contrast of physical vs. emotional, showing how much deeper and intense the latter is. Certainly not a film for the light hearted.
