Candyman '92 | Riffed Movie Review 

Fun fact: they originally wanted Eddie Murphy for Candyman but he was too expensive. That was a blessing in disguise cause Tony Todd killed it, no pun intended

Don't let the haters get you down! Your reviews have comedy, an interesting perspective, and are well articulated.

Bee man reviews man filled with bees 🤩 pure gold 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

it can't be overstated enough how much Philip Glass' score added to the greatness of this movie. Tony Todd knocked it out the part with minimal screen time as well. One of my all time fav horror films.

His voice in headphones is also fantastic.

This movie came out when I first joined the US Army and I have to say it has one of the most beautiful scores I've ever heard in any movie and I will always love that stunt when Candyman goes backwards out of that window. CLASSIC!!!

That murderer that they make reference to in this movie about a person getting access to another apartment by climbing through the medicine cabinet actually happened at Cabrini-Green.

Classic gorefest. Tony Todd is a legend. Awaiting budget sequel: 'Handyman'...

Yeah my mom's floor model TV lasted from 1976 through 1991. They don't make them like that anymore.

Also from the behind the scenes aspect of the movie; in those scenes where Virginia Madisen (Helen) is or looks hypnotized, it's because the director didn't think Virginia could act believable enough hypnotized, so the director brought in a professional hypnotist to hypnotize her before those scenes were filmed.

I remember seeing that South Park episode, then finding out that Philip Glass was the composer on 'Candyman,' and all I could think was, "Really!? THIS guy was the guy they were making fun of?" I know South Park makes fun of literally *everyone,* but it still threw me off, considering what a haunting masterpiece the score for this movie is.

Re-watched Candyman a couple months back before the recent one released and the score was just so good!

I really enjoyed your review. A few people have reviewed this before, Decker Shadow and Cinema Snob ro name just 2. I found your review to be more original in some of the clips you spliced in for comedic effect. I met Tony Todd at Long Beach comic con. He is such a nice gentleman. That being said he still gives me the chills as Candyman.

I said Virginia Madsen 5 times and sadly nothing happened. I just want to appreciate her beauty. She was in her prime filming this.

Clive Barker really gets the sexiest men to play the villains in his movies. Sean Chapman in Hellraiser and Tony Todd in Candyman ... I refuse to see any remakes, you can't outdo the sexy Hollywood.

One of my favourite horror movies till date! The background score has been etched in my head forever. One of Philip Glass’s masterpieces

I just re watched this and Tony Todd is amazing! I have no idea about the new one, but the original STILL holds up today - classic - great review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I missed the NewBee! Glad to see you again!

I love the cat intro! I'll take more of that! 🤘🐈‍⬛

One of the most beautiful horror movies

Not only is he haunted by her death, but I think he actively regrets that he traded down. She was happy to make dinner for them as we see at the beginning. Where as his little coed friend is annoyed by the whole prospect.

I'd simp for candyman

Hey man thanks for this really needed it today! One week ago marked 2 years since my dear Dad passed and also happens to be 1 week before I move from the house I've lived in since we moved to Pa. 35+ years ago. Lot of memories flooding. And my eyes flooding too candidly lol

Great review, even greater humor!

EYYYY I didn't leave the video when he said I would. I'm a true fan

Just watched the new one so this couldn’t have been timed any better. Your a class act man. Love your reviews.

Man, I don't know HOW you're not syndicated all over, just fantastic content! Loved this review of one of my favorite flicks! So funny, so spot on! Love your work, keep it up!!

I remember watching a bootlegged version of this movie as a 14 YO in '92, damn time flies

I’m relatively new to your channel but I always love your reviews! Just wanted to show my support.

Best review channel...!!

Wow, I didn't watch Candyman yet and after watching this review, it look really good. I will be watching this movie. Great review of Candyman. You rcck Bee Man.

Hi NewBee! 🐝 You rock!

The Evil Within is well worth watching/reviewing. Go in blind without expectations and I guarantee when it's over you will not be disappointed. Perfect for October

DASH INCREDIBLE-I SNORTED AND DID THAT COUGH/LAUGH/GASP SORTA WHEEZE THING AT THE SAME TIME. I COULD HAVE DIED.

Just giving a comment, so this video gets recomended

It is such a good movie.

I must say, though I have nothing against the newer film version of "candyman" I much and (always have) preferred Clive Barker's horror legend classic. Tony Todd, to me will always will be "candyman". A sterling performance by Mr.Todd, and all cast involved. A true horror movie that still stands up today, Mr. Todd makes "candyman".

This movie came out when I was 7, and it scared me and my friends so badly. We’d spend hours in the bathroom at my house, saying Candyman once, twiiiiiice….. no no no don’t do it don’t do it! Okay, you go. No no no I caaaaant. I think the first time I actually said it all three times was when I was 8 or 9. I shit you not when I say I made peace with death on that day. (Btw it’s my ghost, writing this comment. The afterworld has pretty decent wifi.)

9:45 If commercials & ads were like yours, I'd never change the channel. Tony Todd will always be Candyman to me (just my opinion) he made that part Scary, Epic & Unforgettable.

Been looking forward to this for a long time. Was so happy you done the 1408 review and now a Candyman one in such short time. Two of my favourite horrors

I am commenting to encourage your behavior. You had a few good zingers in this one thanks for the funny duder.

its great to see thenewbee uploading

God, I love Tony Todd. I'll bee his victim any day. 😏 But on a more serious note, the first act of this film before Candyman's reveal is far more terrifying than anything else because it's honestly a dramatization of real life. It just feels gross, grimey, and oppressive. All that comes after feels a little standard and a tad cliche, but I still enjoy it. Totally agree with the 4 1/2 Bee Score. P.S. - I know there's a joke between you and the bees of the movie, but I'm not clever enough to make one.

I lost it with roy Orbison 😂😂😂

There are films where my heart genuinely goes out for the lead actor. That was some rough filming experience for Virginia & Tony both!

You should do "The Collector" and "The Collection"

Love your videos

New set? Moving on up in the world!

Gymkata my friend! What a great movie and fun review. Keep them coming and I will bee watching them all 😀💋

Great job 👏 your my favorite RU-vidr and I hope you get many many more views and subscribers you deserve it!! I would like to see you do the new candyman review next im gonna try and watch it soon

Could you review o brother where art thou?

Your videos bring me joy, NewBee!

Scully! (02.58)

I totally lost it with #BeesAreNice - brilliant! Excellent video, thank you.

great content as always. keep it coming!

“I didn’t know Gillette made candy.”

Love your video

Fantastic as per usual sir :)

First time for this movie..Not bad..But surprised you didnt mention a cameo by a Certain..Raimi .

Helen should’ve “played dead” in Anne Marie’s apartment. By that I mean pretended to be knocked tf out. If you wake up to the smell of blood, a knife, and a severed dog, maybe don’t go exploring. Stay in the exact position you woke up in, keep your body limp, and take shallow breaths. Think of the game “Man of Medan.” You do NOT want to mess up the breathing sequence. If someone nefarious is still there, you may catch them by surprise. If there’s a distraught mother, maybe she won’t blame you.

Love these old movie reviews. How about Trey Parker’s Directorial debut film “Cannibal! the Musical” for funsies?

Whenever he says, "Be my victim," I can't help but imagine Tony Todd's Candyman playing Mr. Rogers. "Won't you be my...could you be my...won't you be my...my victim?" I do love this movie and Tony Todd as well as the concept of Candyman as a tragic, romantic villain who was first a victim himself. Hey it's not the movie's fault my brain goes to weird places when I hear that one line. lol Apart from my weird connection of two completely unrelated things, I really do love the words, "It was always you, Helen." Something about the movie's musical score somehow can be summed up in those words in my opinion. In fact, I think the soundtrack is my favorite part of this movie as it sounds every bit as mysterious, foreboding, haunting, and tragically beautiful as the film itself, encapsulating all of its best elements into the musical score.

Great review!!! 🖤💛 The soundtrack is bee-utiful 🐝 ! 🎵 Also this movie is an adaptation of Clive Barker’s “The Forbidden”.

Wait Atlas keeps out the ghosts from Pulse? Promise?

Your little heart out.

I think.. this was the first movie that actually scared me as a kid, i will agree with everyone tho, Tony Todd is such a legend.

"Like a damn fool...!" Finally a reviewer says what I say to myself at some point during every horror movie.

The scariest thing is that empty rooms behind mirrors is a real goddamn thing in some apartment buildings. Great film. Who'd have thunk it that the key to a good horror movie is, you know, an actual story?

She really really looks like Gillian Anderson.

BONE TOMAHAWK PLEASE!?

Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry. ...i cant 😂😂

Just discovered your channel. Good light hearted reviews. Do you get copyright strikes? If so you have any advice on avoiding them for movie reviews?

Candyman reminds me of Pinhead from Hellraiser 1-2 (Doug Bradley) in so many aspects: - They each had a logical reason for the choices they made and did not deviate from their end game. - Both had such a commanding presence that even when they weren't killing, merely present, it was enough to make your heart race. - Even Pinhead himself had to be summoned. - Just like Candyman spared the baby solely to meet his goal, Pinhead spared Tiffany to focus on Dr Chennard. They were not killers that murdered anybody in their way (like Chucky for example) - they were "intelligent killers" that waited and planned. I'm autistic so I struggle to find the way to phrase what I mean, but I hope someone understands some of what I'm trying to say. Much love fellow Newbees❤✌🐝

Where's the Atlas VPN link?

i saw the movie. it was very tense.

I wanna see the Mike Myers's version "Randyman"

I saw this movie a dozen times but only now noticed the babysitter's boyfriend looks like a Dollar Store Fonz.

good stuff once again doode

Hell yeah

A unique slasher.

Hah! I guessed it! 😆

The Wanderers (1979) is an old but very interesting movie.

Just watched the new Candyman 2021. A few people from the original had a quick cameo. It was good, but I still love the original. Check it out if you get a chance.

#Beesarenice #Newbeesarebetter

I love your work but after what I've gone through rafter a horrific auto accident on December 9 , 2021 ... With the pain I am in & being alone , struggling with lack of $$ .. living hand to mouth - If a " Candy man " could take my life , I'd be okay with that . These movies of horror are just so much shiesse .

That’s right bitch he said “most” not all! I’m one of the proud ones who watch his movies start to finish. Can’t stop the sigma male movie review binge 😎

Great vid here's a algorithm boosting comment

2 things 1. Awesome Airplane reference! 2. Will you be reviewing the sequels?

I stayed till the end like I always do

Where is the atlas VPN link? I don’t see it in the description. 😭🤭🤦‍♀️

Wait, apparently a new one came out in 2021?!,!

Food for the mean algorithm

candy lee man

Like number 650 right here. Four and a half, no argument here.

Wait are there people that don't wait to hear the legit review? ANIMALS

So if you compile a tape of famous singer saying candy man three times and play the tape to the mirror then the candy man will haunt that dead singer in hell?

Oh lord I hope the remake doesn’t ruin everything

4 and a 1/2 bees! :]

Saw the new one a couple hours ago really enjoyed it but the messaging was a bit heavy handed especially the final act it gets a bit ridiculous.

THIS movie! Swear i smoke like half a pack everytime i watch this! 🤢
