Candy Corn

About This Movie

Candy Corn (2019) brings a gritty, nostalgic vibe typical of the 80s slasher era. The film weaves a tale of vengeance that's pretty interesting, to say the least. You've got this local outcast, Julien, who meets a brutal end, and then there's Dr. Death, the witch doctor, who resurrects him for some twisted revenge. The practical effects are notable, they really keep that raw, visceral feel alive. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to that disjointed Halloween atmosphere. Performances range from decent to memorable, especially the characters that really embrace the over-the-top elements. It’s the blend of dark humor and horror that gives it a unique twist, standing out in a sea of horror films.
