an urban legend that lives in us.
Today's review will be about one of the most important films of the 90s.
The film, although it is considered a horror movie, there is not much horror here, it is a great Thriller with elements of horror, thanks to which a film that is already cult was created. The film tells about two journalists who write about urban legends at the university.
The main character, Helene, decides to investigate a strange murder that took place in the slums. A mysterious Candyman appears around the murder. Hearing the legend, he decides with Bernadette to check if it is real.
By saying his name 5 times. The film stirs the viewer's mind in an interesting way, creating two perspectives, one that the main character sees and one that sees the surroundings. Candyman wants to get Helene at all costs, but not so simply, but tempts her to suicide, taking everything she wanted from her.
The film has a great dark atmosphere and Tonny Todd's crunchy voice makes almost every appearance mesmerizing. The film focuses on the Candyman legend and how he became a ghost in the mirror.
(Trailer)The film is based on a short story by Clive Baker and you can feel this specific spooky, but also fascinating world here. Where evil turns out to be a better solution than good. The movie is slow, it builds an atmosphere around it, each murder is mysterious.
When the main evil character appears, he even crushes the viewer into a chair. Great role and the whole movie.
Dirty dark horror movies should be like that, but you know what works in the 90s, currently there is no chance because the climate is killed. Each appearance of die Candyman is also a series of great quotes that ask you to write them down.
The film that is worth watching is this work, it pleases the eye and gives satisfaction (except for the last scene) Looking from the perspective of the years when I was little,
I was terribly afraid of this film and that if I pronounce it five times, Candyman will get me.
It was this movie that cemented Tonny Todd's position in Hollywood. A new part is planned for September and it's hard for me to imagine that the new Candyman could be played by someone other than Tonny Todd because the actor fits perfectly into this demonic role where he has a hook instead of a hand and is all covered with bees and a hive.
I recommend it because it is one of those movies that stimulate the imagination and scare you differently than typical jump scars. This is the movie after which you call your friends and tell about it and you start to say his name in the dark by the mirror in the darkness, Candyman Candyman Candyman Candyma ...;) 10/10
