Advantages: Great Plot, Very uneasy watching

Disadvantages: Not as good a budget as it deserved, Can even make those with strong stomachs turn away from the screen!

Clive Barker has always had a legion of fans ready to blow his trumpet (oo-er!) after the Pinhead films but for my money CandyMan blows away any of the other films he has had his hands in.
Its based around a short story Barker wrote about how local 'urban legends' could somehow be made true by the people who believe in them.
Throughout the whole film there is a dark sense of forboding. I always find the film to be somewhat uneasy.
It is overall a superb film and I do not see why it is not be talked about in the same breath as Scream when we look back at 1990's horror.
Maybe its just not 'irony filled' enough for the critics to be feel safe at night.
