The Devil's Candy Page #3

Synopsis: Metal music, wet paint, and family are the passions of Jesse, a struggling painter who lives a happy life with his wife, Astrid, and their preteen daughter, Zooey. And things look even brighter when Jesse and Astrid are able to put in a bid on their dream home - a huge property in rural Texas with a barn big enough for a proper art studio - after the price is driven down due to the home's mysterious past. After the trio moves in, Jesse's work starts taking on a new, considerably darker flavour - and things get even more ominous when Ray, the hulking, clearly unbalanced son of the deceased former owners, appears on the doorstep one night, clutching a red electric guitar and asking to "return home." It soon becomes clear that Ray and Jesse are both being influenced by the same satanic forces, and that Jesse's family won't be safe until they find a way to quiet the Devil himself.

- Not a Flying V,

and a Marshall.

These seeds are

what you've sown

Never should have

lit that fuse

Enjoy your paradise

This hell is just for you

- I know that Leonard

already rejected my portfolio.

But I just need... -Leonard doesn't

look at artists twice, Jesse.

-Yes, I know, but please.

This is different.

I've never had a muse before.

I don't remember painting this.

It's like it's,

it's like somethin'..

It flowed through me.

-I'll see what I can do.

- Rocky?

Here, boy.

Come on, Rocky.

Just gonna go get Rocky.

Rocky.

Here, boy.

-What the f***?

I'm so sorry.

Hey..

Zo..

Okay, you know what..

I deserve that.

Okay, totally deserve that.

I'm really sorry, Zo.

-It's only my second day.

I don't know anyone.

And you just left me here.

-I was painting.

I thought that I was in there

for five minutes.

And I stepped outside

and the sun had gone down

and I panicked.

I didn't think that

I was in there for so long.

I just, I... I completely

got lost in it.

- Don't do it again.

- I won't.

- Swear.

- I swear.

-On my grave.

-I swear.

Can we please be friends again?

Please?

- Are you gonna let me keep

the guitar and amp?

Hello Austin, it's been a while,

but are you ready to get heavy?

I said, are you ready

to get heavy?

Scissor kick

off the Marshall stack.

Thank you, everyone.

- Throughout the ages, in all

the various religions of man

there is one constant.

The personality of the being

we call Satan.

In Samaria, He was Baal.

In Egypt, Set.

In Persia, Orin.

In China, He was chief

of the warlock, called Wu.

There is always the dark God.

The fallen God.

There's always Satan.

- Did you tell her that

she could keep the guitar

because, you know, I thought

that you said that you..

Oh, my God.

Is that..

-I didn't mean to do this.

-Okay, what's going on?

This, this is our daughter

on fire.

-She can never see this.

- Okay, well then destroy it.

- I can't.

-Why?

- Because it isn't finished yet.

- No, it is,

if you want it to be.

- No. No, it's not

that simple, Astrid.

It's like these children

are inside of me.

Begging, screaming

to be let out.

And I don't know why.

-Come on.

-He wanted it to be you.

I wouldn't let Him.

'Cause you're a special one.

No. No... no... no.

You can't be loud.

He'll make me do that thing

I don't wanna do

and I don't wanna

do that to you.

Please, please... please.

Please, be quiet.

If I take my hand away,

are you gonna be loud?

No.

- Mm-mm.

-Cross your heart?

And hope to die?

- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

- Mm-hmm.

-Okay.

Help!

-Don't! Don't!

Oh, no!

-Get out!

Right now! Daddy!

Oh. Oh.

Ah.

-Were the doors locked?

-Uh, yes, they were
