Summary

We're wrapping up our look at Toxic Masculinity with David Slade's feature directorial debut, Hard Candy (2005). This secret rape/revenge film features powerhouse performances from Elliot Page and Patrick Wilson and plenty of uncomfortable moments. Plus: comparisons to Promising Young Woman (and Saw X?!), a frank discussion of pedophilia, plenty of strategic framing, and the prequel we want to see. Reference: Hadass S. Wade.
