this be definitely one of the scary movie ever and also belong to my top ten horror film . however and not everybody seem to like this movie as much a i do . candyman be almost flawless . among all the horror movie villain candyman be one of the most frightening and fascinating . tony todd do a terrific job . there be no point in the film where candyman get ridiculous . luckily there be no scream until even the killer himself be deaf teen . instead we get virginia madsen who add a psychological component to her role . the plot be very solid too . the idea of a killer come when you call him be very interesting because it be different from what we have see before . although the story of candyman be somewhat surreal there be a solid motive for what he be do . that a point that many other film of the genre lack . another element that add to the very moody atmosphere be the directing . there be some amazingly exciting shot and especially the aerial view of chicago which be unique . the mood make the film somehow disturbing and fascinating at the same time and that why there isn not any other film like this one . there be some pretty gory scene but the brutality here be never use to entertain . the soundtrack which be one of the best in horror film also help to create the atmosphere mention above . candyman get a lot of bad review although it be one of the best in the genre . give it a try . my rating represent positive .
