Since The Devil's Candy made its world premiere at TIFF in 2015, horror fans have been eager to see what filmmaker Sean Byrne has in store for them in his first feature film since The Loved Ones (2009). With his new movie coming out in the US this March, the wait is nearly over, and to get an idea of what to expect, IFC Midnight has unleashed a new trailer.
Written and directed by Byrne, The Devil's Candy will be released in select theaters and on VOD and digital platforms beginning March 17th from IFC Midnight. Produced by Keith Calder and Jessica Calder, the film stars Ethan Embry, Shiri Appleby, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Kiara Glasco.
The Devil's Candy trailer premiered exclusively on EW, and you can watch it below. In case you missed it, read Kalyn Corrigan's Fantastic Fest review of The Devil's Candy.
"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 the house’s former inhabitants or indeed from the devil himself."
