In 2015 Dean Dempsey directed and starred in a punk rock cinema film Candy Apple. Now the revived Anchor Bay Entertainment have given this film a Blu-ray release.
Synopsis: CANDY APPLE follows Texas Trash as he struggles to get sober while his son Bobby attempts to launch a career in filmmaking. Meanwhile Trash has all but abandoned landing a job or reigniting his band as planned, and has fallen at the heels of local eccentric, Roxy. With the help of hallucinogens, the two embark on regular adventures through New York and other worlds. When Bobby hears of Trash's relapse and near fatal overdose, his confidence and belief in his father is broken. As the cast's relationships weaken, CANDY APPLE ends where it begins, with the father and son struggling to balance desire with reality but never getting it right.
Candy Apple is a raw and real look at addiction. It is at time very hard to watch. It is even uncomfortable at times. For Demsey doesn't pull any punches with making this film. The story is real, and the actors are not well known so when watching this film, it is almost like you are watching on the outside to people's real-life experience.
Anchor Bay transferred Candy Apple to Blu-ray in 1080p and it is presented in widescreen format. The film's Blu-ray transfer is beautiful. In addition to a wonderful transfer there is bonus features of a Theatrical Trailer and a short featurette entitled, "What is Punk Rock Cinema?". That featurette really does help you understand what Punk Rock Cinema rally is!
