As for the Arrow release, as always, it's fantastic, subtitles (perfect as I'm hard of hearing),and the extras that come with. Above this the quality is brilliant. For the film, it's my personal favourite Clive Barker horror.

Great delivery from Zavvi of a classic film. Great picture and sound

Great restoration of a timeless horror classic on Blu-ray and plenty of great extras.

Well worth the money as it has amazing visuals and is packed with special effects

This dark and unnerving horror outing based on a story by Clive Barker and directed by Bernard Rose has quite rightly earned a reputation as one of the best horror films of the 90's. The story takes the ideas of harmless urban legends and gives them an evil and physical form. While some people have slated ‘Candyman' for ignoring its own rules I don't think it did. ‘Candyman' is not a straight forward horror film; there is an intricate plot which requires thought to be fully understood. Bernard Rose does a great job of creating an unnerving and dark atmosphere which is complimented perfectly by the haunting music. The film has an almost religious feel to it without actually being a religious-based movie and an abundant sense of dread is created through some inventive and impressive direction. Virginia Madsen's performance should be acknowledged as well as she plays her role very well, even generating feelings of sympathy for her character. The film is a good length and goes at a well-judged pace. The performances are impressive too, Tony Todd is absolutely terrifying down from his posture to his voice. In fact, for me the only real downside was the ending, it was a sort of "it's not over" ending, and for me it felt tacky. In conclusion, an atmospheric horror film that delivers on pretty much every level. Candyman is a slasher film that offers up something different and, dare I say it, has some class. It's a very well executed horror film that also has other things to say as well. My rating 8 out of 10.

Great film, very scary. Made me excited to see the new one soon (hopefully)

Loved this film it scared me the first time i saw it back when it first time it came out as great special features up to date. Interview with Tony Todd.

Film itself was underwhelming after all I had heard about it but the quality and extras on the disc More than made up for it
