It amazes me how few horror movies actually are scary for adults, or at least for me. I usually watch them alone, in the dark, and they still are rarely scary. But, Candyman scared me. I was reaching for the baseball bat, looking around, that kind of stuff. I was doing it a lot. It was creepy. The plot kind of goes in a strange direction, and, in my opinion, loses some steam and scariness, but the fright meter overall is way up there among horror rentals. If you have been disappointed by the horror fare at Blockbuster, etc., check this one out.
