Candy Land

Candy Land (2023) is a grim horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Quiet devotion here curdles into something bloody, and fast.

Cast out of her religious commune for breaking its rules, Remy has nowhere left to go. She finds shelter among the truck-stop sex workers who ply the lots under the eye of their matriarch Nora and a slow-talking sheriff named Rex. They live by a strict code, and the wide-eyed newcomer absorbs it faster than anyone expects. Eden Brolin plays Remy, with Olivia Luccardi alongside her and William Baldwin as the lawman who keeps the whole lot on a leash.

Director John Swab lets the first two-thirds simmer as a survival drama, then yanks the whole thing into a brutal slasher for the finish. Ninety-two minutes that earn their hard R — sex, violence, and zealotry in heavy doses. Stream Candy Land (2023) online on iFILM.
