"Candyman" is an interesting horror film that has as much to do with PLACE and SETTING as it does with horror and race. "Candyman" has an interesting antagonist that is the product of a horrible racist lynch mob, his hand cut off and his body stabbed to death by bees. The story of "Candyman" makes it a small and unique film, not one that I find to have many fun moments. "Candyman" is more determined to build its own place in the horror mythos and it does so successfully, though I do not find it fun or scary, it has value due to its uniqueness.
