Product ReviewsCandyman 3: Day of the Dead (DVD, 1999)

Original Horror With Style...and Flaws

From the mind of Clive Barker comes a tale of ghost stories that just might be real.

The beautiful chain-smoking grad student Helen is studying an urban legend about a serial killer whose identity is threatened by her, and he begins appearing again to exact his bloody revenge. That is the concept of Candyman. There's more, but this is a review, not a Cliff's Notes book.

Certain aspects of this film showed such promise. Candyman has an intimate and powerful desire for Helen that leads you to think that this evil being has chosen her (just a normal, pretty white girl?) for something deeper than she knows. ("It was Always You, Helen"...) This piqued my curiosity but it never paid off somehow.

All in all, it's a fair horror venue with lots of blood (and bees), and an unusual music score from Philip Glass.
If you've seen all the others, here's one that you might enjoy for its story and style.

I always giggle towards the end when the girl asks for help in making the salad, and she is holding a huge knife. It looks as if she is preparing to make her way through the Congo. About as subtle as a garlic sandwich.

The ending, such as it is, left me disappointed. It was tacked-on, typical, and predictable.Read full review...

Engaging movie.

Really engaging movie; lots of action and suspense. Characters help you feel to be part of the movie; some making you hide your face others making you sense their pain and still others making you sick to your stomach with all the blood and gore. Read full review...
