‘Candy Land’ Trailer Reveals a Truck Stop Sex Worker Grindhouse

Candy Land gives us a huge helping of Grindhouse horror in the form of a slasher. The Quiver Distribution picture focuses on a group of truck stop sex workers, some religious zealots, and mixes in some good ole’ blood and guts. We are a fan of the empowered decayed at the edges approach that the filmmaker is taking with this one.

The synopsis for Candy Land is as follows:

“Candy Land follows Remy (Olivia Luccardi, It Follows), a seemingly naive and devout young woman, who finds herself cast out from her religious cult. With no place to turn, she immerses herself into the underground world of truck stop sex workers a.k.a. “lot lizards,” courtesy of her hosts, Sadie (Sam Quartin, Body Brokers), Riley (Eden Brolin, “Yellowstone”), Liv (Virginia Rand) and Levi (Owen Campbell, X). Under the watchful eye of their matriarch, Nora (Guinevere Turner, American Psycho), and enigmatic local lawman, Sheriff Rex (William Baldwin, The Squid and the Whale), Remy navigates between her strained belief system and the lot lizard code to find her true calling in life.“

It stars Olivia Luccardi, Sam Quartin, Eden Brolin, Owen Campbell, Virginia Rand, Guinevere Turner and William Baldwin.

Candy Land arrives in theaters and on digital beginning January 6.
