I think this movie is very overlooked. I know this because i have been overlooking it for the past couple of years. Tonight i picked it up at my local hollywood video and i have got to say this has a very original story. I am a person who is a big fan of Halloween and friday the 13th this movie is right up there with them. If you have never seen this movie i highly reccomend it. If you have seen this what are your thoughts on this?

Candyman is definitely an underated horror flick.

I remember it scared the hell out of me when it first came out.

I didn't even mind the sequels.

Yep, great fright flick. I know what I'll be watching tonight!

Helllllllennnnnnn...Hellllllennnnnn...

Shortly before it was originally released I attended a screening of Candyman with Clive Barker in attendence. That dude scared me more than this movie ever could.

Definitely a winner - years ago, I lived just a few blocks from the housing project where this movie takes place, so it becomes especially creepy for me.

I live on the south side of chicago and i was freakin because projects are not far.

REALLY good movie with a REALLY good score by Philip Glass

That movie scared me bad the first time I watched it at home, alone, and in the dark... You couldn't have PAID me to say his name 3 times in the mirror.

Candyman is one of my favourite Horror flicks ever...period... For me it just works perfectly and the character of Candyman is really fascinating... I even liked Farewell to the Flesh....not as good as the first as far as artistic merit or working as an overall movie, but Tony Todd just ****ing OWNS as Candyman, which makes the movie bearable... now, part 3...that just sucked balls...

MATT

i want to direct Candyman 4

Yes, love the movie, own the DVD.

Just bought the movies are the sequels worth a rental?

NO. No, no, no.

it's unanimous! Candyman is a great horror film.
Probably the last good scary film.

I liked part 2, it isweak and doesn't hold a candle to part one, yes, but it has some nice moments.


candyman.


candyman.


candyman.


candyman...

The sequels are terrible! Stick with the original and forget the others even exist.

Yes, Candyman is a great movie. I remember the first time my good friend of mine introduced me to this movie. I swear to god I was almost crapped in my pants.



I mean the musical score is just incredible and one of the best horrors scores, that I know of.

You can listen to the short previews on amazon for philip glass's work.

Just thinking about it still freaks me out.

Watched Candyman 2 last night and i got admit it was not half bad the only thing it was missing was the chicago element. Definitely not as good as 1 but it was allright.

I bought this movie on dvd last night for 7 bucks i was wondering if it sucks cause if it does im not gonna waste tonight watching it. ill watch it another time.

I watched this in the middle of the day in a room with drawn curtains. It freaked me out! (especially since I lived with the whole "Bloody Mary" urban legend growing up)

[GuessWho]It's just Candyman. No "The."[/GuessWho]

well is it good and scary or just good or does it suck

It doesn't suck. I don't know how easily scared you are, but I suppose it's fairly scary. I saw this movie at pre-release screening with Clive Barker. Meeting him scared me a lot more than the movie ever could. Creepy dude.

for me it's "good and scary". But I guess it depends on what "scares" you.

When I first saw it in theatre, I wouldn't even look in my rear-view mirror on the drive home.

It is good.
It is scary.
It DOES NOT suck.

(I used to live a few blocks from the Cabrini Green complex where this takes place. That's scary all by itself.)

Good & Scary

REALLY good.
REALLY scary.
