not as good as all the hype

Lack of good storyline.

Am I Missing Something?

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

!SPOILERS IN ALMOST EVERY PARAGRAPH!This film is outstanding in amazing ways. To it's score to it's storytelling Candyman is sure to brighten your day with sweet thoughts!This film kept you going with the littlest soundtrack to the most in a scene leaving the drama and mystery into play until about the last 20 minutes when she confronts the Candyman.The Candyman basically is a legend about a man with a hook who died by getting stung by hundreds to thousands of bees. Only coming back to life to get his revenge(correct me if I'm wrong).This sets off a killer soundtrack, amazing acting, and scenes that'll leave you off of your seat! The candyman can do what no man has packed. To it's high strewn score to it's beautiful last act, in amazingly an 1 hour and 30 minutes possibly more, this film in public makes it impolite to snore, for the Candyman will come knocking at your door. 1,2 ,3 4, how about letting the bees pour! Now be careful and watch out for what you have said, say his name 5 times and your definitely dead. So basically watch this film, it'll be a treat, don't throw it in the kilm, for this movie's unique! (See how I said C****** 5 times?)

Frankly, I've never seen a proper horror movie which redeemed the genre in my eyes. I was just thinking about it, and can only conjure up three times I was horrified by a film product: The cartoon short "The Boy Who Saw the Iceberg" by Paul Driessen; the scene in Morris's "The Thin Blue Line" where an incarcerated, handcuffed David Harris whimsically muses about the moment of murder as a religiously transcendent, timeless moment; and the sturdy narrative depiction of evil acts portrayed in "Rosemary's Baby". I also like Robert Rodriguez's forays into grindhouse style horror... but not because it's truly horrific. In fact, it's almost like Roldriguez knows this, even as he's working.But, that said, I found this flick about as close as they come. I like the tethering the pretense of horror to a sturdy, modern materialism, and Candyman fairly pulls that off.There are a few punches pulled. But there really is a depiction of something well nigh harrowing; a woman dedicated to discovery of the truth who discovers that materialism just may be no protection from an horrific reality.

To start off, it was a relatively good movie. What i didn't like: 1) kinda slow 2) not very scary as a movie overall 3) Τhe villain was not very well designed and was not so scary for a villain 4) not that many jump-scareswhat i liked: 1) Clive Barker was involved 2) Very nice and dark, yet weird,atmosphere within the movie 3) It was a fairly good production, as amovie, meaning it was well made technically speaking. 4) It had it'sfair share of blood/gore.To sum up, i did not regret watching it, but i wouldn't watch it again for many years.

I remember this movie creating quite a "buzz" when I was younger. I decided to give it a watch, since I haven't seen a decent horror movie in a while. It has a good start with an interesting background story to an urban lore. The middle of the movie slows down a little bit, but leads to a relatively interesting and exciting end. It definitely has it's share of moments that'll make you jump, but they are mostly based off of cheaper gimmicks such as sudden loud noises that coincide with a quick scene change or appearance. It probably won't keep you up at night, but it is worth a watch, even 23 years after it's release date. For entertainment value I'd say it still holds up. If I were younger, I'm sure I'd be freaked out and tempted to dare a friend to try giving Candyman a call ourselves.
