Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
Give Candyman hosannas for offering an intriguing premise, but then give it hell for not following through on its initial promise.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 4.5/5 --
An urban horror allegory about the white guilt people feel standing on the outside looking in, encountering worse horrors after invading places where they just don't belong.

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

Rating: 7/10 --
Bernard Rose's Candyman offers a moody "elegance", if you will, that's sorely lacking in other horror films of the era.

PopMatters
Candyman offers a plot riddled with narrative ambiguities that are never fully resolved, all as a spur to the hooked viewer to spread their own take on the Candyman myth, and so to keep it alive.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Candyman has an interesting premise. It just works under its atypical treatment of cliches. But a good movie? I don't think so. [Full review in Spanish].

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

Product Description:
Folklorics graduate student Helen Lyle's (Virginia Madsen) thesis research leads her into the urban underworld of Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing projects, whose residents are genuinely terrified of "Candyman" (Tony Todd), a legendary figure with a hook for a hand. Skeptical, she "summons" him in front of a mirror and discovers with horror that he's real and wants her to join him in his "mythic" world; when she refuses, he murders those in her wake, leaving her to be charged with the crimes. She tries to explain who the real culprit is, but her efforts fail, and authorities commit her to a mental hospital. This taut horror thriller is based on "The Forbidden," by Clive Barker, who also executive-produced.
