‘The complete midnight movie package. It’s got
characters to root for, a clever narrative and a spot-on
mix of scares... that are brimming with energy and
others that’ll seep in and mess with your head’
- Collider

‘It’s quite rare to see (or rather, hear) heavy metal music being used so skilfully in film, but it perfectly complements Byrne’s direction... the disturbing imagery, intelligent script and cinematography are all expertly crafted’
- Bloody Disgusting

Get a taste for The Devil’s Candy with Sean Byrne’s (The Loved Ones, Dangerous Animals) ‘heavy-metal horror opus’ (Variety), arriving in a delectable new Limited Edition 4K UHD/Blu-ray Box Set on May 25, 2026, courtesy of Second Sight Films.

The second feature from the Australian writer-director rocked audiences to its core on its release in 2017, and now, horror fiends can feast on the new Limited Edition Box Set stuffed full of special features including interviews with cast and crew, an audio commentary with Sean Byrne, a 120-page book full of new essays and much more. Please see the full list below.

Struggling artist, Jesse (Ethan Embry – Empire Records, Can’t Hardly Wait), loves heavy metal, painting and most importantly his family who enjoy a happy and quiet life, but when he, his wife, Astrid (Shiri Appleby – UnREAL, Roswell), and daughter, Zooey (Kiara Glasco – Copper, Bitten), move into their dream home, things take a sinister turn. As they settle in, Jesse starts experiencing disturbing visions and his artwork starts to take on a new, much darker flavor. When strange things start to happen, it soon becomes apparent that their ideal new abode harbors a sinister past and an evil entity has set its sights on the family.

Things take an even more ominous turn when Ray (Pruitt Taylor Vince – Identity, Superman) – the hulking, unbalanced son of the former owners – appears on the doorstep with his sights set on Zooey. With satanic forces at play, Jesse's family will never be safe, until they find a way to quiet the Devil himself.

For a terrifying modern take on classic haunted house horror, with a head-bangingly brilliant heavy metal soundtrack, devour ‘occult delight’ (Bloody Disgusting), The Devil’s Candy.
