Where to Watch Candyman: El dominio de la mente
- Carlos Ibarra10 de abril de 2025One of, if not the best horror films of the 90s. It's class, style and ideas outshine. It features one of the best scores for a horror film period. And a bogeyman that is not only able to compete but outshines the best of them. If all that weren't enough, the social commentary, that's still relevant today, puts this film on another level.
- Callum31 de diciembre de 2024⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Candyman – Say his name, and summon one of horror’s most haunting legends. “Candyman” stands as one of the greats of psychological horror — stylish, intelligent, and anchored by the late Tony Todd in what many rightly consider his defining role. His performance gives the film an almost tragic grandeur, turning a supernatural slasher into a gothic urban myth that feels both timeless and disturbingly real. The story blends folklore, fear, and social commentary with a deft hand, proving that horror can be thoughtful without losing its edge. It’s a film about belief, obsession, and the stories we tell to make sense of darkness — whether that darkness lives in mirrors or in people. Rarer still, Candyman went on to spawn a sequel that was nearly as good — something almost unheard of in horror. While later entries couldn’t match the original’s atmosphere or depth, this first film remains a chilling masterpiece of mood and mythmaking. Elegant, unsettling, and unforgettable, Candyman lingers long after the credits — just don’t say his name five times.

En la Universidad de Chicago la estudiante graduada Helen Lyle se da cuenta de la superstición prevaleciente que rodea la leyenda de Candyman (un fantasma con un gancho en vez de mano que aparecerá si su nombre se dice cinco veces en un espejo) entre los arrendatarios del Cabrini del proyecto Verde de Chicago. El profesor, oyendo hablar de la investigación de Helen, explica la base histórica para la leyenda y detalla cómo se cree que Candyman es el espíritu vengativo de un esclavo que fue mutilado por una chusma enloquecida cuando se lo acusó de violar a una mujer blanca. Cuando Helen prueba su confianza intelectual recitando el nombre de Candyman cinco veces, ella pone en movimiento una serie inevitable de eventos sobrenaturales, culminando en una serie de matanzas espantosas en las que Helen sostiene el arma del asesinato. Aunque ella es capturada por la policía, se pone en evidencia para Helen que Candyman está guiando su destino.
