A children's ghost story comes to terrifying life in this gut-wrenching thriller about a graduate student whose research into modern folklore summons the spirit of the dead. Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) laughs when she interviews college freshmen about their superstitions. But when she hears about Candyman, a slave spirit with a hook hand who is said to haunt Chicago's notorious Cabrini-Green housing project, she thinks she has a new twist for her thesis.
Braving the gang-ridden territory to visit the site of a brutal murder, Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist... until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, tragic slayings. But the police don't believe in monsters, and they charge Helen with the grisly crimes. And only one person can set her free .....Candyman.

Without doubt one of the finest horror movies of the last 30 years not much you can say really without giving the plot away but it is based on a clive barker story 'the hellbound heart' regarding the origins of urban legend, and how the stories come to be.
suffice to say this is a dark, creepy (sometimes gory) masterpiece that you wont forget in a hurry.
one of the very rare examples of the movie outshining the book.
a must see for all horror fans.
Good and bad

Well i bought this film with high hopes but was not thriled by it. If you looking for a decent story line and a freak show this might be your film. All the killings you caint see untill they are done by that time they are dead. It is a very freaky film and at times leaves you on the edge of you seat. For £5 a decent buy.
