Description:
"Money is the root of all happiness" The notorious cult classic finally makes its home video debut!
16-year old Candy Philips (Susan Sennet, wife of singer Graham Nash or Crosby, Stills and Nash) is brutally abducted and buried alive in the hills of Southern California by a trio of amateur criminals hoping for a hasty ransom exchange. When Candy's father (Ben Piazza) doesn't show at their agreed rendezvous, the threesome—sultry blonde Jessie (Playboy Playmate and 70s B movie queen star, Tiffany Bolling), her sadistic brother Alan (Brad David) and maladjusted Army vet Eddy (Vincent Martorano)—begin to grow anxious. Paranoia sets in; the kidnappers fear their meticulous plan is crumbling and begin a downward spiral into depravity, mutilation and cold-blooded murder—with Candy helplessly trapped in the middle.
Subversive Cinema is proud to give THE CANDY SNATCHERS its worldwide home video premiere, digitally restored and remastered from its long-lost original camera negative. So grab a shovel and bury those bootlegs—THE CANDY SNATCHERS is finally here!
"THE CANDY SNATCHERS is a prime example of 70's exploitation cinema whose uncompromising nature has garnered near-legendary status." —Bruce Holecheck, DvdDrive-In.com

The Candy Snatchers (Guerdon Trueblood, 1973)
Wow. I'm trying to imagine the guts it must have taken in 1973 to take the exploitation film and throw such a nihilistic twist on it that it goes farther than most noir films. What kind of mind would make a movie like this? Perhaps more importantly, what movie house executive would greenlight releasing such a thing? And is there a snowball's chance in hell that it would ever happen now, twenty-three years later? (Short answer: no.) While ... Read More

I've always been partial to obscure, oddball films from the 1970s and the feature The Candy Snatchers (1973) certainly fits the bill, especially in terms of the former since it's never had an official home video release in any format until now. Written by Bryan Gindoff (Hard Times) and directed by Guerdon Trueblood, whose credits primarily consist of writing on such television films as The Savage Bees (1976) and Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo (1977), The Candy Snatchers features former playmate (April ...

This film,until this release,was indeed a "lost" classic,rarely seen after it's initial release in the early 70's.Subversive has changed that with this superior release.If your tastes run towards the grindhouse exploitation films from that era,you will be in "hog heaven",my friend - a true classic.If "grindhouse exploitation film" has you scratching your head in bewilderment,this film then may not be for you and you should head to Blockbuster for the "flavour of the week".....

Capt.Freaky here to describe yet another failed purchase of mine...first and foremost, this is the third title from Subversive Cinema that would not play in my $700 Philips DVD player! I had to watch it on my computer's DVD player!
Beyond that inconvenience...this film didn't come close to living up to its box cover! I expected some serious punishment to the kidnapped girl...instead you see her breast once for about 5 seconds while she is getting sexed up by a guy who is a lame actor!

I didn't like it. I've read dozens of reviews talking about this being a "brutal" "gritty" "exploitation classic", etc., but it's boring. I'm over here preparing to get blown away but instead I could barely stay awake.
Three dorks - one being a female dork - kidnap a "teenage" girl and demand her jeweler father to pay them in diamonds. Catch is the father could care less, so to show that they mean business the kidnappers tell him they're going to cut off the girl's ear. Naturally they're ... Read More
