Movies by Josh Hasty

With a distinct flair for blending chilling horror and offbeat humor, filmmaker Josh Hasty has carved out a unique niche in the world of independent cinema. Known for his unapologetically gritty and atmospheric style, Hasty's films transport viewers to unsettling worlds where the line between the mundane and the macabre is often blurred. Hasty first gained attention with his 2014 feature debut, Honeyspider, a taut psychological thriller that showcased his talent for crafting memorable characters and crafting nerve-wracking suspense. He followed this up with the equally unnerving In Hell Everybody Loves Popcorn: The Making of 31, a behind-the-scenes documentary that offered a candid glimpse into the making of Rob Zombie's horror opus. But it was Hasty's 2019 film, Candy Corn, that truly cemented his reputation as a filmmaker to watch. Blending elements of slasher, supernatural, and coming-of-age narratives, Candy Corn is a gritty, atmospheric horror tale that delves into the darker corners of small-town life. With its striking visuals, unsettling atmosphere, and compelling performances, the film stands as a testament to Hasty's ability to captivate audiences while never shying away from the more unsavory aspects of the human condition. As the creative director and executive producer of the production company Relavox, Hasty continues to push the boundaries of independent horror, crafting stories that linger long after the credits have rolled.
