This movie blew my mind


expected a cheesy boring flick but I was drawn in!

I loved the setting. It was so dark and d depressing and i loved that it was filmed during the cold to. Gave it more of a depressing feel

Good solid flick I might look into even buying

Yes, it's a very good horror film indeed, with the sort of genuinely disgusting but at the same time very articulate and attractive "monster" that embodies a real ontology, that you often meet in Clive Barker's literary and film universe.

For some reason, the shot that disturbs me the most in Candyman is the one of the empty, cold apartment behind Helen's bathroom wall cabinet, and I can't explain why.

And of course, there's the truly exceptional Philip Glass score.

agree that shot was very disturbing. I expected much more gore tbh. I figured it'd be a slasher type film like Friday the 13th or Halloween but it wasnt

Now I have heard the sequels are very bad
