Trivia:

In October 2011, the New Zealand Censorship Board (OFLC) banned Anchor Bay's release of this film by classifying it as 'Objectionable'. They claimed that it contained sexual violence and sexual conduct involving young people to such an extent and degree, and in such a manner that if it was released it would be 'injurious to the public good'. They went on to say that it relished in the spectacle of one girl's ordeal, including a three-minute rape scene. They also stated that it sexualised the lives of young teenage girls to a 'highly exploitative degree'.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: After Megan makes the date with Josh to get ice cream, she gets on a video chat with Amy. Just before Amy's video feed pops up, Michael Goi can be heard calling, "Action."

A Reply to DesertTrash and my opinion

@DesertTrash I understand what your saying, and agree that its sick...but watching a movie about actual events ( repulsive or not ) is much more 'informative' than fictional Trash like, Hard Candy.

I liked this movie because whether you or I, or anyone for that matter believe people this sick do or don't exist....they do! and I'm not disagreeing with you in anyway..I got this movie thinking it was just another twisted horror movie. Obviously I was wrong. But I watched it because its true (and sick) but because I think the producer is sending a message to be careful rather than 'pure entertainment' Sick? yes, definitely! But, why degrade someone for spreading truth. We are celebrating bin ladens death, no? you want sick? watch the original "Spit on Your Grave" Just don not watch this or any other movie because one viewer found it obscene.

No i didn't enjoy this because of its content, but because of its meaning far beyond that...
