7. Candyman

Candyman uses the South Side of Chicago as its setting and to tell a parable about the power of legends, which approaches but never quite reaches the level of trenchant social commentary. To its credit, though, it never feels heavy-handed or exploitative in its treatment of its subject matter, and that context also makes the Candyman himself a fairly compelling slasher. In fact, all the main cast members put up strong performances, which helps carry the experience where the actual scares fall short. Of course, I cant finish this write-up without mentioning Candymans standout aspect its almost choir-like music, which quite appropriately brings to mind themes of reckoning and resurrection.
