I like this one

i actually like this Candy man better than the first. This was definitely better than the 3rd one. The atmosphere of the south made the movie creepy. I do think this mover was more creepy than the frist. I love the music in the movie (the theme song) was really creepy. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves the original Candyman or loves a good horror movie
