Candyman

I'm not a real supersticious person. I don't avoid walking on cracks, or under ladders. I don't get freaked out when a black cat crosses my path, but you'll never catch me saying Candyman in the mirror. This was a damn scary movie. The mixture of forklore and modern day situations was great. There's something about movies like this I don't understand. Thoughout the entire movie, Candyman disappeared and reappeared wherever he wanted, but at the end when he was stuck in the middle of the fire, he couldn't? Go figure. 4 out of 5.
