Candyman (1992)
Don’t pass this one off as another mediocre urban legend movie that came out of the ’90s. Candyman received mostly positive reviews and praise for its smart plot and nuance. The supernatural mystery is centred around a student researching urban legends who learns about the local Chicago legend “the candy man”–a killer who appears when you say his name five times into a mirror, and will then murder whoever summoned him with his hook-for-a-hand. It’s gory and eerie, with good acting. Save it for Halloween night. And try the mirror trick yourself (IF YOU DARE).
