Director: Bernard Rose
Cast: Virginia Madsen, Xander Berkeley, Tony Todd, Kasi Lemmons
Adapted from a short story by Clive Barker, Bernard Rose's landmark supernatural slasher movie tells a chilling tale of gentrification and generational trauma. While completing her thesis on urban legends and folklore, graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) learns about the "Candyman" (Tony Todd), a tormented spirit with a hook for a hand who is said to haunt Chicago's notorious Cabrini-Green housing project. Braving the gang-ridden territory to investigate the site, Helen assumes that Candyman can't really exist. But then he appears to her, igniting a string of grisly murders. As Helen becomes enthralled by this powerful myth and descends further into the rabbit hole, she begins to lose her grip on reality.
