Based on a story by Clive Barker and skillfully written and directed by Bernard Rose, Candyman rises above most horror films by eerily suggesting that some urban legends--in this case a particularly frightening one--have a spooky basis in reality. The legend of the Candyman is a potent one around the high-rise tenements of Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing complex, where the residents speak of a dark, ominous figure who appears when his victims say his name five times in front of a mirror, then mercilessly slashes them to death. Upon learning that the Candyman is rumored to live in one of the vacant tenements, a University of Illinois researcher (Virginia Madsen) investigates a recent murder at Cabrini-Green. She learns that the Candyman (played by Tony Todd) is both unreal and chillingly real--a supernatural force of evil empowered by those who believe in his legend. He is a killer made flesh by the belief of others, and the young researcher's investigation is a threat to his existence. What happens next? We wouldn't dare spoil the chills, but rest assured that writer-director Rose has tapped into a wellspring of urban angst and fear, and Candyman serves up its gruesome frights with a refreshing dose of intelligence. --Jeff Shannon

 Heavy-handed attempt at cinematic poetry June 23, 2010
Frank Gorshin (Missouri)
The themes (urban legends as expression of real racial conflicts and poverty) are interesting and the camerawork is good too. But there's too little time devoted to making characters something other than types, and so the social issues and personal dramas seem tacked on. The result is artsiness combined with Hollywood horror cliche.

Extremely Underrated April 20, 2010

Candyman is one that deserves to be ranked right up there with the horror classics. I honestly think that this movie is one of the most underrated films ever. Being a horror fan, I felt compelled to watch Candyman. I thought it would be terrible but I have never been more wrong about a movie. It goes above and beyond your regular slasher film. Candyman throws in some psychological twists that you will be sure to appreciate. Definitely check this out, whether you're a slasher fan or not! And don't even get me started on the score- it is absolutely amazing! Check this out - you won't regret it!

A hook-handed killer tears people apart at a housing project Chicago, while graduate students researching urban mythology, become involved. This is one of the scariest movies. CANDYMAN is an intelligent, unconventional thriller. If you thought there were no original horror stories or just some predictable slasher movie, well you're in for some surprises.
LOVE MY CANDYMAN December 21, 2009

I loved the movie and have since I first seen it. My son that is 16yrs old is the reason I purchased the movie. I don't think that since CandyMan there hasn't been any movie that I can tell you right off the back it was SCARY! Also my son had his friends over one night around 11pm; they started watching the movie and had to turn if off because the boys were getting scared; these are highschool football players.
The bees make the movie; makes you feel once you are sleep you are going to have a dream about bees attacking you. I have also always felt that the idea of having to say Candyman 5x's, reminds me of the Bloody Mary story I heard and experienced as a kid in the early 80's
