Tony Todd Is a Fearsome Horror Villain as Candyman!
Candyman remains one of the greatest horror films ever crafted. Director Bernard Rose’s supernatural slasher horror mystery Candyman (1992) is brilliant and unlike any other serial killer picture I have ever seen. Featuring gritty 90’s aesthetic and brutal violence with gallons of blood, Candyman has it all. It leans into urban folklore and black pain for its lore. I think Candyman’s intriguing mystery, shocking kills, genius writing, mesmerizing visuals, haunting music, and riveting acting performances create a horrifying atmospheric nightmare. Bernard Rose directed a true masterpiece of horror. There is no horror film that’s truly comparable to Candyman. Clive Barker’s original short story “The Forbidden” about Candyman is deftly adapted by writer and director Bernard Rose. Seeing Chicago’s landscape from 1992 is a real trip, especially all over Cabrini-Green’s neighborhood. Funny that a white director from England wrote and directed a film about historical black suffering at the hands of racist white people. His sympathetic writing shows real empathy for the black community and Chicago. Rose’s thoughtful writing is terrifying and poignant about generational trauma, racism in police forces, racially motivated violence, belief, love, infidelity, faithfulness, and instilling fear through storytelling. Rose crafts a tale of woe and misery that must be shared. Candyman is as smart as it is scary. Dan Rae’s sleek editing keeps scenes flowing neatly with a quick pace. Candyman doesn’t even feel half its 100 minute run-time to me. I was impressed by how fast Rae splices Candyman into a scene when he appears in a jump scare. His movements nearly look like floating due to Rae’s creative editing and cinematographer Anthony B. Richmond’s fascinating medium shots. His close-ups are beautiful like his isolating wide shots of Chicago’s desolate Cabrini-Green region. I loved the long panning shots from the bird’s eye viewpoint opener to Helen wandering across sections of Cabrini-Green. My favorite shot besides the harrowing bee sequence or funeral pyre finale has to be when Candyman first appears to Helen in the parking lot. Richmond’s perfect framing and shadowy lighting give Candyman a realistic, yet ghostly appearance as the fearsome Chicago apparition. Candyman is one of the best shot horror films for sure. Every time Candyman appears, it is shocking not just because of a jump cut, but also the camera is angled so that you’re not expecting the shot where he’ll appear either. Virginia Madsen is captivating as University of Chicago researcher Helen Lyle. Virginia Madsen is phenomenal as the horror heroine in Candyman. She’s gorgeous with this young Madonna blonde haircut and a face like Sharon Stone. She’s perfect as the innocent looking, but ultimately ignorant woman who is looking into Candyman’s folk story without real belief. Her thousand yard stares, soft voice, and total disbelief in the horrors of Candyman, make him all the scarier. I like how you can see Helen unraveling through Virginia Madsen’s expressive acting. She thinks she can just haphazardly waltz into Cabrini-Green and not expect to be attacked in one of Chicago’s most dangerous areas. You see how gentrification has destroyed an area of Chicago and how the black community therein suffers in poverty, sadly. I appreciate how Madsen represents how differently a white woman is treated by police and how her ignorance of Candyman leads to her downfall. Tony Todd was born to play Candyman. His deep booming voice echoes in my mind. His sinister and seductive villain catchphrase, “Be my victim” is hypnotizing and frightful. His tall stature and smooth movements are unsettling as he descends upon his chosen victims who foolishly summon him by saying Candyman 5 times in a mirror. His hook and bees are fearsome weapons, but it’s Tony Todd’s sorrowful voice bellowing out in a centuries long heartache that’s moving as much as he is scary. Candyman is a terrifying slasher horror villain, but Tony Todd elevates him into a tragic figure in his own right due to his sad backstory. Costume designer Leonard Pollack gives Tony Todd a fitted sweater and long overcoat to go with his grisly prop hook. Candyman has the hardest drip of any horror villain for sure. His sleek dress shoes, tailored pants, and ascot look really cool. Xander Berkeley is excellently cast as scumbag Professor Trevor Lyle, who is sleeping with his student Stacey, played by Carolyn Lowery in a fun ditzy girl role. She’s very funny and Berkeley is great at portraying how Helen’s unfaithful husband didn’t care enough about her with true love as juxtaposed by Candyman’s eons long desire for his one true love that he even died for in a way. Kasi Lemmons is adorable and sympathetic as the university researcher Bernadette “Bernie” Walsh, who has to put up with Helen’s troublemaking and naive attitude towards Chicago and Cabrini-Green. Lemmons is wonderful in Candyman with a cheerful glow and playfBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
