Ok,” Candyman” what more can I say than this movie was a masterpiece. Personally, a good horror movie is one that has a good mythos and gets you thinking. ”Candyman” does both. The plot revolves around Helen a student writing her thesis on urban legends. Enter candyman

Now candyman was a black man who fell in love with a white woman and got her pregnant in the 1800s. Now her father didn't take this well and hired some men to lynch him. The cut is right hand and smeared him with honey attracting bees leading to

him being stung to death. Now the legend goes that if you say his name five times in front of a mirror he kills you in a gruesome manner. Enter Helen and Bernadette, friend and colleague. These two decide that hey he’s not real so why not say his name in front

of a mirror? However, in the process of doing this, Bernadette chickens out but brave Helen finishes

Suffice to say nothing happens so their alright. Anyways their research takes them to a bad neighborhood in the city. Snoopy old Helen decides that hey

”wHy don't We TakE pIctuRes oF tHe FiRsT CaNdyMaN mUrdEr ScenE”? Bernadette is like bich no!! Eventually, she gives Helen five minutes. Helen then enters a crack den which has murals of candyman all over after taking a few pics she leaves. Before they leave

They are confronted by Anne Marie a resident of the building. She calls them out for intruding telling them that not everyone here is a crack head. But she eventually calms down after they introduce themselves. So they go back to her place and we get to meet

her baby, Anthony as well as her dog. She then narrates the events of the murder which seem to satisfy both Helen and Bernadette who then leave. But guess what Helen wasn't satisfied with an eyewitness account she wants more *feigns surprise. Helen decides to go there

the next day, there she meets a little boy who tells her about how candyman castrated a boy in a public restroom. The boy is hesitant at first as he says candyman will come for him. But Helen sweet talks to him and he helps. Helen then goes to the washroom to take pictures.

Right after she enters, a hook touches the boy who is currently outside and he lets out the words ”candyman”. Anyway back inside Helen is taking pictures and decides that hey why not open one of the toilets when she does there are a swarm of bees and crap everywhere

Anyway, so she’s done now. And right after she turns she sees candyman but here's the thing it's not your traditional ”candyman” she sees if you know what I mean

anyway the drug dealer had been going by the alias candyman to scare people and it had worked so far

Anyway, he decides that he doesn't want Helen shopping in his business some bashes her camera and smashes her head with the hook. The end......

Why are you still here I said it's over.

You can go now

Just kidding

anyway the boy gets help and the next scene is Helen identifying men in a lineup (white privilege at work here like wow you guys really got a line up that fast?) *stares begrudgingly in Dr. Umar. So anyways Helen identifies her attacker and....

You know this is the part that pisses me of the detective was like oh we knew he committed a lot of crimes but we didn't have enough evidence. Excuse me!!! This man murdered a woman. I mean for a movie made in the 90’s it sure is up to date with the times.

So everything seemed to be going Helen she got a prisoner sent to prison and Bernadette was able to recover the photos from the camera. Anyway, as she goes to her car on her way home she here’s a voice .And guess who it is........... Candyman looking fine if I may say so myself.

He basically says: ”girl you think I ain't real Ima bout to end your whole life

. Now one thing I noticed is candyman’s voice seemed to put Helen in a trance, wow my man is a lady killer no pun intended, ok pun intended

. So anyway Helen passes ou t

and the next scene is Helen back at Ann Maries house covered in blood. But she ain't dead tho she realizes she also has a butcher knife by her and decides to take it because... well who wouldn't? I mean if I head a local folklore legend on my ass I would want a tank but hey

you have to work with what you have. So she gets out only to see the decapitated head of the dog

press F to pay your respects. So anyway we see Ann Marie crying about her missing baby then she sees Helen. Now you don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand

why she attacks Helen. Now Helen is confused and is like wtf is going on here. Anyway they get into a scuffle and Helen uses the knife on Ann Marie immediately after the cops burst in, and of course, they're restraining the black woman first

I figure

I mean sure the audience knows Helen is not guilty, but what if she was? Why did the police go for the black woman first anyway it's 2020 and we still see this shit so we know the answer to that

?

So anyway she gets sent to a holding cell and is eventually bailed!!!! Ok, hold up now. Imagine if Ann Marie and Helen took each other's places so let's be real would she be granted bail. AmeriKKKa at its finest. Now Helen is back home a decides hmmm why don’t

Go over the picture. She puts them in one of those machines which move pictures together like a movie. Please forgive me I have no idea what they are called

so she looks through them and guess what is a constant in all of them

So now she's shocked and decides to go to the bathroom as she stares into the mirror a hook suddenly passes through Candyman!!! is here and he ain't playing no games. Helen tries to run out but he's already there she goes back in and grabs a knife

to defend herself but once Candyman uses his amazing voice she melts like butter *insert cringe another lady killer joke really Chris? You are better than this.

So candyman uses his hook hand across her face and I think he begins to hit on her

in his own weird charming way. Right after that Bernadette knocks at the door

. Helen tries to tell her to stop but Candyman’s voice has already done its work. She is weak. So Bernadette enters and we'll lets just say Candyman makes art with her guts (RIP Bernadette

You were a real one

so after that Helen wakes up to the police handcuffing her and immediately runs out only to see her friend’s body or what is left of it being sent off. The police manage to get her back and sedate her. She is then sent to a mental institution

there she is taunted by Candyman who is basically saying marry me or else I kill the child. You know Ann Marie's kid. Eventually, the doctors come and dope her up. Later she wakes up and realizes she is being sent to an office there she meets the doctor who is

like we are making sure you are ready for court and whatnot. He shows the clip of her supposed encounter with Candyman in the ward. In the clip, however, there is no Candyman. Go figure it’s a paranormal entity, of course, you can't see him.Anyway Helen decides

to prove he is real by mentioning his name in the mirror. For a brief second, nothing happens and the doctor is about to give the whole speech on ”you see it’s all in your head” then bam Candyman stabs him. Helen immediately heads for the window and sneaks into

another ward and knocks out the nurse and steals her clothes. She then sneaks home and guess what? Her husband has already moved on with one of his students. ”Men will disgrace you” ampaa

At this point I'm yelling call candyman on their asses but nooooo she gives

this big speech and leaves

mtchew I bore sef. So Helen decides its time for her to confront candyman so she goes to his base of operations armed with a hook. When she gets there she finds him sleeping and decides to kill him because why not.
