 ... stung to death by a swarm of bees. A young child watching there calls him "candyman" due to him being smeared in the sweet honey. You later find out in the second film that his pregnant lover holds out a mirror which he looks into shortly before he meets his death. I believe this happening means it somehow captured his spirit in mirrors, therefore when a person later chants "candyman" five times into the mirror his spirit will appear and murder anyone in his path. ********** The plot Helen Lyle i...more

Crowned ReviewCandyman (DVD): The one where you say his name five times in the mirror... (1310 words)
by - written on 19/09/12 (Very useful, 87 readings)
Rating:

As a teenager I was very much into my horror films - I loved scaring myself for some reason... Now that I'm older I am very wary at watching the newer type of horror films as they tend to show too much gore and have completely pointless storylines. However I am partial to watch the odd classic every now and again and I found myself watching Candyman last night while doing the household ironing. Candyman was released in 1992 when I was 5 years old - I didn't actually end up watching it for the first time until I was about 14, but I remember seeing this on a neighbours VHS shelf for years and even though I didnt know at that young age what the film was actually ...  Read the complete review

Helen Lyle and her best friend Bernadette are mature university students, who are studying Urban legends for their thesis. The Candyman legend in particular has caught their attention, as so many people in the area have a tale to tell and are afraid of him. Since the legend is situated around a deprived area of Chicago, the two friends believe that the people use the legend as a reason for their situation. Curiosity gets the bet of the friends especially Helen, and they visit Cabrini Green where a series of unsolved murders has taken place. The locals believe the deaths are the result of the Candyman, who was murdered on the estate many years ago. Helen ...  Read the complete review

Mirror mirror on the wall (178 words)

Rating:

A horror movie at once technically brilliant and thematically quite troubling. With a stunning Philip Glass score and superbly controlled direction from Bernard Rose, it's the story of a researcher into urban myth who gradually discovers the legend of the Candyman, a hook-handed spirit who comes to slaughter when his name is called three times in succession in front of a mirror. The effects and soundtrack, coupled with some genuinely great shock moments, and sense of an unfolding and unstoppable nightmare, make the film very scary indeed. Like a lot of Clive Barker material (adapted here from a short story 'The Forbidden'), it has a weird and ...  Read the complete review

Rating:

Anyone who has read a few of my reviews will see that I like horror movies, which is something of a bane because the horror genre is packed with movies which are simply derivative at best or plain trash at worst, far more so than any other genre of movie. Most of the criticisms levelled at such movies by those who do not like them is that they are simply not very scary and for the most part I would have to agree with them. Gone are the days when a cinema-goers would walk into a theatre and scream at something like Bela Lugosi’s Frankenstein, or Max Shrek’s vampire. As it happens today, you can see far more horrific events simply by turning on the news than ...  Read the complete review
