The Devil's Candy is about a house in Texas where the devil likes to talk to whoever will listen. After Pruitt Taylor Vince kills his parents due to the voice of Satan, the house is put on sale. Ethan Embry and his family buy it. Embry is a struggling artist who begins hearing demonic whispers and channels it into his art. Meanwhile, his daughter is starting a new school and dealing with normal tween drama. Vince has gotten away with the parental murder and is staying in a motel where he can either silence the devil by playing heavy metal riffs or murdering little kids. And the law don't take kindly to strangers playing heavy metal in motels. So this sets Vince on a collision course with Embry and his family that results in some blood.
Vince is good at playing these disturbed guys by now (anyone remember when he was the lovable bartender Stinky in Beautiful Girls?). Embry has absolutely vanished from his clean cut teen movie star days. He looks a little like Rob Zombie here and his love of metal kind of makes that even clearer. The whole movie is creepy and there are a few plot holes I won't point out here. It is a decent Halloween treat though.
