CandyMan
Inspired by the famous myth in the town, a young girl, who makes a thesis in these myths and fables, travels to that town and makes the spell to call Candyman, an evil spirit that has murdered mysteriously, as she does not believe in these myths, so she stands in front of the mirror and calls him.

Sadly enough, with all the things Candyman has going for it, it turns out to be not much more enthralling than the last Freddy Kreuger slash-o-rama.

Madsen is a much better actress than is usually found in such a role. However, if you don't like splashes of blood or bees swarming out of bodies, you may want to think twice about this one.

Like so many post-Val Lewton horror films, this 1992 feature starts out promisingly while the plot is mainly a matter of suggestion, but gradually turns gross and obvious as the meanings become literal and unambiguous.

What I liked was a horror movie that was scaring me with ideas and gore, instead of simply with gore.

The film's spooky atmosphere is accentuated by Anthony B. Richmond's cinematography and Philip Glass's score.

The finest American horror film of the 1990s.

Candyman is atmospheric and visually stimulating enough to satisfy gore-hounds as well as being an intelligent social commentary.

Candyman is an uppper-register horror item that delivers the requisite shocks and gore but doesn't cheat or cop out.

The film bogs down into ordinariness after its fast start when the myth is literally acted out and all sense of movie magic gets washed down the toilet.
