Saw this on recommendation from a friend. Scary! Creepy music too.

Supposedly based on Clive Barker's short story The Forbidden, which this film hardly resembles at all. It even disposes of the core idea of Barker's short story -its most interesting element. Why did they even bother to purchase film rights when they're just going to change ninety-nine point nine percent of it anyway? I suspect they just wanted something with Clive Barker's name on it to the film would be easier to sell. The producers of this work were most probably parasitic in this way, but is the movie any good? As a previous reviewer here has pointed out, the first half is pretty good but completely burns down to ridiculous absurdity in the second half. The finale is laughable. Read Clive Barker's short story instead.

Great film with a nice twist on the original source material. Very original idea and lacks cliches. Great darks moods and tones with a beautiful score by Phillip Glass.

Bernard Rose's Candyman, released in 1992 is a top-tier and top rung horror movie that lacks the cliches seem in most recent releases. Beautiful score by Phillip Glass.

Actually it does cheat. It does cop out. And the whole thing is a chiched mess. Plus it is a complete betrayal of its source material. Top tier??? More like bottom rung!

Candyman is an upper-register horror film that delivers the requisite shocks and gore but doesn't cheat, cop out, or fall to the typical horror cliches.

Great first half, second half descends in chiche and falls apart.
