Melissa L @Agent99 1d The original is always better than the sequel. Unique plot, and good actors make this movie a winning one. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 24 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 19 Very iconic in the horrorverse. Wasn't a fan of the reboot. See more Luis Ivan M @RT79996638 Nov 17 A strong horror film with a compelling setup, though not without storytelling issues. The first act effectively invests us in the protagonist and her goals, though the pacing drags at times. We don’t encounter the titular antagonist until nearly halfway through the film, and by the time he appears, the narrative shifts, moving away from mystery and toward a more straightforward struggle for the protagonist to prove her innocence while facing Candyman. This second half is more visceral and action-driven, but offers less character development and isn’t as narratively interesting as the buildup that precedes it. The setting is one of the film’s greatest strengths. It uses its environment to gesture toward social commentary on inequality and crime in African-American neighborhoods, and it also weaves in themes of marriage troubles, folklore, and urban legends. However, none of these thematic threads are explored in depth; they remain intriguing, but underdeveloped. Technically, the film is impressive. Production design and cinematography create an unsettling atmosphere, while the visual effects hold up remarkably well. The editing maintains a solid rhythm, though the film could be slightly tighter. Philip Glass’s score is beautiful and haunting, an inspired, unexpected choice that elevates the film’s tone. Overall, Candyman is a well-executed piece of horror cinema. It delivers memorable set pieces and effective scares, and it’s easy to see why many consider it a classic. For me, the narrative could be stronger, but it’s still absolutely worth watching, especially for fans of the genre.

It really feels like a forboding film that only gets scarier from there. Overall 8/10 See more Marcellaus P. @CellHunter Nov 9 This is one of my favorite urban horror films. Unique in its approach to scare and tell urban lore. See more Read all reviews
