Movie Reviews of Candyman
Movie Review: The Candyman CAN!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm not a big fan of cut-em-up horror movies. Usually I find them laughable and low-brow. Candyman, however, was a HUGE surprise! Sure, it's a gorey horror movie, but it's also a psychological thriller and yes, even a love story. I will have to say, on top of all that, it's also up there with one of the most frightening movies I've ever seen. A great movie to watch, and a great movie to think about later. Definitely worth owning and re-watching, you'll notice more symbolism, allegory, etc in it the more you watch it.Movie Review: Superior plot line for a low budget film
Summary: 4 Stars
Well made, well acted, Tony Todd is always good, he should do more of this type of movie. Virginia Madsen is also always good I wonder why she's not a big movie star? She certainly has the looks, figure and talent. I enjoyed this movie because the plot was very different and not run of the mill like most horror movies. Enjoy!Movie Review: What a rediculous pile of poo.

You're kidding, right? The only good film in the trilogy is the origonal. How dare you try to continue the story of something that cannot be continued. The orgional was good enough. Leave it there. Just because you want money, don't ruin such wonderfull entertainment.
I didn't even stay awake through all of the movie, it was so bad! I'd rather watch Barney with my 2-year-old!
Movie Review: CANDYMAN, CANDYMAN, CANDYMAN DELIVERS!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Candyman is a untique boogeymen and the story is great and all i have to say is to not go to a mirror and say his name five times..... Candyman is about a mythical guy that was ridcule by a bunch of towns people and they pour honey all over him and watch him get stung to death by bees.... The reason why the towns people did this was he fell in love with a woman.... The candyman is a great horror flick and its great to watch over and over again!!!!!!!Movie Review: SAD, BEAUTIFUL AND HYPNOTIZING
Summary: 5 Stars
Actually I felt I was in love with this film as soon as I saw the very beginning - the opening credits against the background of Chicago seen from high above and provided with beautiful music. "Candyman" could have become another teenage urban legend flick with not much of a sense, but Bernard Rose managed to squeeze everything possible from the story making a brilliant, enchanting and spellbinding film out of it. If you're interested mostly in gore and some physical manifestations of horror you won't find it here (you will, but not in quantities you used to). "Candyman" is more of a psychological horror where atmosphere is what's important, where mood is what matters, where you are given some food for thought. I don't have enough words to describe the whole perfection of this gorgeous film, I can only say it's a great achievement of Bernard Rose as a director besides I guess Tony Todd, Virginia Madsen and Xander Berkeley had their best roles played in this feature.
I don't personally think that 90s were fertile regarding the horror genre, but "Candyman" is a true gem which wouldn't be lost among the greatest horror titles of all times.
By the way if you don't want to spoil your impression of the film, better don't watch "Candyman" parts 2 and 3. They ARE the average tenage urban legend flicks.
