2022年1月11日 · The implication is that Helen is Candyman's lost love Caroline reincarnated (or at least she resembles Caroline enough that he sees her as a replacement). He's real. Heck, a big reason Candyman targets Helen is BECAUSE she tries to convince his "congregation" that he's just imagination and thus he must punish the "unbeliever" for her transgression.

It is a fantastic movie. One of the last great horror movies, imo. Candyman is barely in the movie, but you feel his presence everywhere. It's like Anthony Hopkins in Silence in the Lambs. He was barely in that movie either, but it's arguably his most notably role. The fact Candyman is so memorable is credit to how good Tony Todd was in that role.

Candyman nails that specific dread perfectly and with some subtlety. Even with the horror element removed (the gore/kills), it's a really unique story with a dark side. I'm a music guy, so I always come back to Candyman just for that, but I'm surprised at how consistently the movie will give me goosebumps even after so many rewatches.

The best thing about Candyman is watching Helen's decent into madness. The death around her was ambiguous enough to actually make you wonder if she was the one killing. And then when Candyman finally kills on screen it feels so visceral. Candyman is my …

Candyman (1992) is just amazing. It's poetic, raw, cultured, world opening, romantic, bloody, I could go on. Everytime I watch it I love it more.

Recently I showed Candyman 1992 and Candyman 2021 to my husband. Well, we started to watch the new one and as they are describing the events of the first movie I stopped it and insisted we watch the first one. My hubby (who isn’t a major horror fan) enjoyed both but said he liked the first one the most.

2021年9月6日 · the original Candyman movie isn't campy in the slightest, it's very self serious. I don't think you are giving a well informed opinion if you're being sincere. and it wasn't really that low budget, and Philip Glass did the music. it's a well crafted movie. real bees? bro, cgi …

2022年12月16日 · Candyman only went on to make about $25.8 million in the US on a budget of $30 million, but international and video sales kept it from being a bust. For the second part of the question, how did it make me fall in love with horror, well, I didn’t know movies could make me feel things like that so strongly.
