	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What I liked was a horror movie that was scaring me with ideas and gore, instead of simply with gore (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Adam Smith Empire	"'Candyman' terrifies because of its ideas. It sinks its horrific foundations very much in the real world of poverty and racial alienation (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"There’s a new bogeyman in town and he makes all other pretenders to the terror throne look like a bunch of cuddly Disney characters by comparison."	POS
United States	Variety	"[It] delivers the requisite shocks and gore but doesn’t cheat or cop out (...) Performances are unusually credible for this sort of fare."	POS
United States	Drew Dietsch Bloody Disgusting	"[It] is arguably the best ’90s horror film of them all (...) Played with captivating elegance by Tony Todd, Candyman is a figure that is both horrifying and heartbreaking"	POS
