candy man
When you believe in something and others think it is a pipe dream. Candymanis a film that I will probably remember for the rest of my life, and the bees will somehow terrify me. The 1992 production tells the story of Helen Lyle, who collects materials for her work on contemporary folklore. He wants to create something witty and interesting, and the whole thing is based mainly on conversations with students about the legends they know. One of the stories is especially intriguing and terrifying at the same time. It tells the story of Candyman, a black artist who is commissioned to paint the daughter of a white aristocrat. They fall in love and she becomes pregnant. Unfortunately, the girl’s parent does not accept their relationship and decides to take revenge for humiliating him. He hires thugs, and they cut off the artist’s right hand and throw them to the prey of the angry bees who had previously stolen the honey. The man dies in agony from bites. Provoked, he returns as a phantom, with a hook instead of a hand and no one is safe anymore. Helen decides to go to the haunted building to check the truth of the story, and her life will never be the same again, fantasies become reality. The freed specter murders people, and the main character is blamed for all the crimes.
I remember as a little bitch, I sat down with my sister to watch, and then I couldn’t sleep at night. My mother didn’t know what to do anymore because no methods worked. The vision of bees eating me or a man ripping my body apart were very real. Until now, when I see bees, I have the impression that they will eat me soon. The actor who played the Candyman, Tony Todd, was the most fearful. Perfectly selected, and his facial expressions and specific way of moving and speaking perfectly reflected the character of the “ hook killer”. It just made the vibe. And there was no need for jump scary or blood pouring everywhere. I won’t tell you if it was 100% my first horror movie I watched, but it’s definitely the best remembered one. To such an extent that I do not know if I will reach for the latest installment. –Katarzyna Gnacikowska
