Product Description

This gut-wrenching thriller follows a graduate student whose research summons the spirit of the dead. When Helen Lyle hears about Candyman, a slave spirit with a hook hand who is said to haunt a notorious housing project, she thinks she has a new twist for her thesis. Braving the gang-ridden territory to visit the site, Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can’t really exist until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, grisly slayings. But the police don't believe in monsters, and charge Helen with the crimes. And the only one who can set her free is Candyman.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Be my victim!"
Reviewed in Brazil on November 23, 2023
Roteirizado e dirigido por Bernard Rose ("A Casa dos Sonhos" e "Ivansxtc"), inspirado no conto "The Forbidden" (1985), do mestre inglês do terror Clive Barker ("Hellraiser: Renascido do Inferno", "Raça das Trevas" e "O Mestre das Ilusões") e estrelado por Virginia Madsen ("Sideways: Entre Umas e Outras" e "Anjos Rebeldes") e Tony Todd ("A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos", de 1990 e "O Corvo"), que diga-se de passagem, entregam performances pra lá de magnéticas em seus respectivos papeis, "O Mistério de Candyman" ("Candyman", 1992) é um clássico essencial e diria até que subestimado da safra noventista do gênero, década esta que, embora não seja nem de longe tão emblemática para o cinema fantástico como foi a década de oitenta, certamente possui excelentes e invejáveis exemplares, vide esta pérola.

Fruto de uma sagaz combinação de subtexto com comentário social pra lá de intrigante e importantíssimo de ser debatido até hoje — algo que, felizmente, foi levado adiante em sua sequência "espiritual", "A Lenda de Candyman" (2019) —, com uma trama bem amarrada, um ritmo fluído e uma atmosfera inquietante, que aliada a ambientação e estética visual do longa, bem como a hipnótica e apropriadamente minimalista trilha-sonora de Philip Glass ("O Show de Truman: O Show da Vida", "As Horas" e "O Ilusionista"), aos bons efeitos práticos e toda sua estrutura tanto narrativa como visual, "O Mistério de Candyman" trata-se de uma experiência cinematográfica indispensável não apenas para todos os entusiastas do terror ou do subgênero slasher, contudo para absolutamente todos que apreciam uma obra de arte transgressora realmente impressionante e lindamente climática. Uma joia dos anos noventa, de fato.

Por fim, essa edição de colecionador lançada pela Scream Factory vale cada centavo, compilando tanto a versão de cinema como sua contraparte integral e sem cortes, tudo embalado por uma vasta quantidade de material suplementar, algo capaz de encher os olhos até mesmo do icônico antagonista imortalizado por Tony Todd.
