The original Candyman.
Everything about it is excellent and holds up even now. The musical score is exceptional.
Don't bother with the reboot. It has a message it's trying to send, which I get, but they've done it to the detriment of the horror. Something could've been done with the premise but they fell short.
OG all the way.
This movie is incredible. The moment when the protagonist climbs through the wall and it turns out to be a mural is permanently imprinted in my mind. I don't know if the pure horror elements work that well, honestly, and I don't really find it that scary as a result, but it's a fantastic and unique movie with a bold vision and strong themes.
