Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

4.0 out of 5 stars solid horror flick, Feb 3 2008
By 
falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Candyman (Special Edition) (DVD)
as horror movies go,this one is pretty good.it's from the imagination
of Clive Barker.it's basically a movie about an urban legend involving
the title character,and one woman's research into urban legends and
folklore.without giving anything away,she gets way more than she
bargained for.The character of Candyman is certainly creepy,and the
movie has a very good atmosphere.the acting is good and Tony Todd is
terrific in the title role.there are some real eerie moments.the one
thing i didn't like was i thought the violence was too excessive.the
movie is not groundbreaking or anything,but still,i enjoyed it.i don't
think it as good as another Clive Barker creation,Hellraiser,which i
thought was groundbreaking.for me,Candy man is a 4/5

2.0 out of 5 stars Been waiting to see this one but..., July 6 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Candyman (Special Edition) (DVD)
I love horror movies and this was one of the few that I haven't seen. The acting was okay, but the pacing was slow and it really didn't live up to the hype at all. Rent it first as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Horror Movie, Jun 28 2004
This review is from: Candyman (Special Edition) (DVD)
This by far has to be the scariest horror movie of all times. As a child i have to say the Friday the 13th movies were scary, along wit Mike Myers, Chucky, Freddy, and the rest but this movie goes beyond all that. I think if u want to see a good horror movie on a Friday night then this is the one. You will definitely be scared. The only thing is that you shouldnt watch it alot of times, the more u watch, the less scarier it becomes.. a must movie to own.
