Candy Land is the latest from John Swab. Quiver Distribution is producing the film for North America. The new film sounds interesting and combines the world of horror with the world of truckstop sex workers.
“Candy Land follows Remy (Olivia Luccardi), a seemingly naive and devout young woman, who finds herself cast out from her religious cult. With no place to turn, she immerses herself in the underground world of truck stop sex workers a.k.a. “lot lizards,” courtesy of her hosts, Sadie (Sam Quartin), Riley (Eden Brolin), Liv (Virginia Rand) and Levi (Owen Campbell). Under the watchful eye of their matriarch, Nora (Guinevere Turner), and enigmatic local lawman, Sheriff Rex (Billy Baldwin), Remy navigates between her strained belief system and the lot lizard code to find her true calling in life.“
“Candy Land is my first venture into the horror genre, While it’s more of a traditional slasher film, we wanted it to have no boundaries and push the limits.” Swab said. “I’m in love with this film and find it to be an authentic tale with the nostalgia of the great 90s cult cinema that inspired me; BULLY, SCREAM, WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE. In a world where people are afraid to take chances, this film and everyone who helped make it pulled no punches.”
Candy Land is set to arrive in theaters and on-demand beginning January 6.
