Example of as The Trailer as marketing genius, The Candy Snatchers is not half as nasty as suggested by the preview above. More akin to the hard-boiled detective pulps of the 1960s than the adult exploitation film genre, the story revels in the sort of psycho-sexual perversity favored by True Crime magazine and its ilk. In fact, being buried alive by a gang of petty thieves is posited as almost less boring than the early 70s ennui of aimless San Fernando Valley teens. Similar themes would be explored decades later in the novels of Dennis Cooper and films and photographs of Larry Clark for example, but if Marcia Brady gone nihilistic sounds like your thing, give this one a chance.
