Review of Candy Land

Candy Land (2022)
5/10
Saints and Sinners

Warning: Spoilers
The only recognizable actor here is William "Billy" Baldwin as a sheriff in a desert town with a truck stop filled with "lot lizards." It is term I first encountered while reading a book about a serial killer who targeted hookers at truck stops.

The lawman has a thing for the one male hustler living at the place with several women who hop in and out of trucks in exchange for cold hard cash.

Along comes a preacher spouting hell fire and damnation to an amused audience of nonbelievers. The reverend evicts one of his followers for not being obedient enough. The young lady is taken in like a lost puppy but the madam running the place informs the lass of the need to earn her keep.

What follows is a bloody mess. Clients seeking a happy ending are in for a big surprise and the working girls are also in for some interesting times. The movie has the feel of a 1970s slasher film and is a decent diversion for ninety minutes.
