Candyman

Candyman (1992) is a landmark American horror film directed by Bernard Rose — watch it online on iFILM. Virginia Madsen and Tony Todd lead the cast in this Clive Barker adaptation that redefined what urban legend horror could be.

Graduate student Helen Lyle is researching Chicago's housing-project folklore when she stumbles onto the Candyman myth. Say the name five times into a mirror and a figure with a hook for a hand will step through the glass. Helen is a skeptic. That skepticism starts to cost her.

Director Bernard Rose layered the slasher premise with a pointed look at race, poverty, and how fear gets manufactured and exploited. Tony Todd's performance turned the Candyman into one of genre cinema's most enduring presences. Stream Candyman (1992) in full on iFILM.
