"Bad Candy" is a horror anthology with a Halloween theme, so this is something of an acquired taste. Normally, I do like horror quite a lot, but sadly many of the anthologies found in the horror genre tend to be subpar, if not downright horrible. So it was with some reluctance that I sat down to watch the 2020 horror anthology "Bad Candy".
Well, as it usually is with anthologies, then there are stories that have more appeal to you than others, and of course such was also the case with "Bad Candy". Some of the stories here were adequate, while others were bland and sort of dragging on, with only the first of stories actually standing out as being particularly interesting - for me, at least. In terms of storylines for the anthology, then writers Desiree Connell, Scott B. Hansen and Thacker Hoffman delivered a very mixed bags of nuts here.
Visually, then I must say that "Bad Candy" was actually quite alright. The special effects seen in this anythology were actually quite good and complimented the stories nicely.
The acting in "Bad Candy" was adequate, though I can't really point out anyone's single performance to outshine the others. But all in all, the performances were good.
My rating of "Bad Candy", ultimately lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars. "Bad Candy" is watchable, sure, and will provide adequate entertainment for a single Halloween evening in front of the screen. But in the long run, then "Bad Candy" just didn't have anything outstanding or memorable to offer the audience.

In the tradition of 'The Twilight Zone', 'Creepshow' and 'Scary stories to tell in the Dark', 'Bad Candy' is an anthology of short stories - told by radio presenters on Halloween night.
This is a seriously demented and bloody film - with a great soundtrack, I might add. The first story is about a young girl, whose stepfather won't allow her to go trick or treating. Able to make her sketches come alive, she gets her revenge on him.
Then there's the selfish young boy who doesn't care about Halloween, but wants candy - good quality candy, and snuffs at the candy offered he finds. There's a guy who offers drugs to strangers at parties, and gets more than he bargained for. And the woman who fantasizes about having sex with a dead guy in a morgue. There's also a bunch of people with pumpkins on their heads being hunted by a vampire. Finally, the House on the Hill.
The film does feature good photography, and great visuals here and there, but in general I just didn't find it interesting enough. There were some creepy moments, and some shocking moments. As the title indicates, 'Bad Candy' might leave a sour taste in your mouth. There are better anthology horrors - or Halloween-related movies out there.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad movie, and might please your palate for some gory Halloween horror. It's worth watching at least once if you're into the genre.

I was honestly really looking forward to this. Mostly because I was really wanting to get myself into the spooky season mood and this was the first thing to drop. However...man. This is bad. Real bad
Sure, it's low budget. The props looks straight off the discount shelf of Spirit Halloween, and the camera work and lighting is just above home movie level professionalism. Honestly, I'm fine with that. The acting is extremely amateur across the board, and while not ideal, at least that has a certain awkward charm to it. The real problem...is the writing
Everything about it feels lazy, generic, soulless, and cringeworthy. This contains every trope you've seen 1000 times before. Every scare is telegraphed. The dialogue is weird and robotic, and so much of this is almost carbon copy rip offs of much better horror films. So uninspired and lazy. Big fail.

If you can watch this for free and there's nothing else on, it might be passable. It's poorly lit, poor sound, lots of bad acting and chaotic story line. If nothing else is available and you don't have to pay, go for it.
Can't pick a better name for the movie. It's like trick or treating and getting home emptying your bag out. A few segments are like getting full candy bars, while a couple others are like getting candy corn. It's worth a one time watch. I'll give it a 5/10 and 1 extra for the creepy clown.
