In an attempt to make a thesis about myths, as she does not believe in these myths, so she goes in a distant town, where people believes in Candyman who comes if a man mentions his name in front of the mirror, so she does so and he comes, the thing that brings terrible for her and makes her life in danger.

One of the best sustained horror movies for some years.

Candyman is an uppper-register horror item that delivers the requisite shocks and gore but doesn't cheat or cop out.

Candyman is atmospheric and visually stimulating enough to satisfy gore-hounds as well as being an intelligent social commentary.

What I liked was a horror movie that was scaring me with ideas and gore, instead of simply with gore.
