Tony Todd's performance as Candyman is as good as it gets when it comes to horror movie monsters. His baritone voice, and that eerie, calm way that he stalks his victims... he's just too good.

Candyman is also one of the few truly creepy horror movies I've seen, as there's a constantly feeling of unease while you watch the entire thing. The acting is absolutely terrific all around (Virginia Madsen is great as Helen), the cinematography and set design rules (always loved the mural on the wall of Candyman's head where people emerge from his mouth), and the soundtrack just adds to the whole experience.

For those of you who have yet to see it, I simply can't recommend this movie enough. It's the best thing Clive Barker ever did in my opinion. Just don't bother with the sequels.
