Sean Byrne’s ‘The Devil’s Candy’ gets Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray Box Set release on 25 May 2026
‘A very 21st-century spin on the haunted house genre… cast are terrific… made in the true spirit of metal… play it loud’ ★★★★ The Guardian
‘Sean Byrne’s assured second feature – a triumph of sound design and creeping minimalism… brings the pain…not for gentle souls’ ★★★★ Time Out
‘The complete midnight movie package. It’s got characters to root for, a clever narrative and a spot-on mix of scares… that are brimming with energy and others that’ll seep in and mess with your head’ Collider
It’s quite rare to see (or rather, hear) heavy metal music being used so skilfully in film, but it perfectly complements Byrne’s direction… the disturbing imagery, intelligent script and cinematography are all expertly crafted’ Bloody Disgusting

Struggling artist, Jesse (Ethan Embry – Empire Records, Can’t Hardly Wait), loves heavy metal, painting and most importantly his family who enjoy a happy and quiet life, but when he, his wife, Astrid (Shiri Appleby – UnREAL, Roswell), and daughter, Zooey (Kiara Glasco – Copper, Bitten), move into their dream home, things take a sinister turn.
