Candy Corn

Take the house of 1000 corpses and mix it up with 31, then replace actors with waiters and waitresses from mcdonalds. water down any serious script writing, get the special effects from plasticine and water based paints, and bingo youve got this movie!! it really isnt as bad as most make out , however every kill and 90% of the dialogue has been copied perfectly from other horrors, mainly rob zombie movies. it couldve been a half decent film, it wasnt

This film is horrendous from the start... very unoriginal story of bullies & revenge that we've seen a million times. The acting seems lifeless & comical most of the time and almost felt like a student film project poorly shot . Shirley the waitress has the two most exciting things and that doesn't say a lot ... we'll I should have expected this as who like Candy Corn anyway!!! The kills are extremely predictable and only the blood is a positive in this film. Don't waste any money on this film as you will be disappointed.

Pancho Moler as Dr.Death and certain kills and Jacobs costume and mask...stale acting and scores.

Constructive Criticism is a virtue.

It's the staple idea of revenge and retribution used in many an EC Comics tale and subsequent portmanteau movies of the 70s and 80s, such as Vault of Horror and Tales from the Crypt.

A Halloween tradition is revisited by a bunch of friends, looking for twisted kicks. What they didn't expect is what was to follow in its wake.

By twisted kicks, that appears to mean to beat someone up once a year at Halloween for no apparent reason. It's a fairly lame excuse for the golem-esque story which follows, even in this Pumpkinhead sub genre of horror, but hey ho.

Some of the gory scenes are quite entertaining but way too drawn out to have any shock factor; the lack of budget is not concealed well with sleight of hand in the editing - which is probably the movie's weakest point. Most scenes could be trimmed a bit; it's a slightly tedious viewing experience and doesn't lend well to the movie's quality, especially where the acting is concerned. The performances are pretty good, it's just that the scenes need a bit more trimming to feel right and the characters really needed a bit more fleshing out.

I love this kind of horror tale, it just hasn't been presented very well. Hopefully the makers can take on board the criticism and get it right next time. Candy Corn has a lot of unrealised potential and I really wanted to like it more.

You could rub this film with 40-grit sandpaper and it's still a flaccid, trite and underwhelming piece of crap.

Independent films don't get a hall pass JUST for being low budget; indie horror should BLEED the passion of the filmmaker.

The score was decent but inordinately disjointed from the scenes it paralleled...

Horror Convention Celebs couldn't save this snoozefest...

Blah blah blah, I could go on and on but that would take time away from watching truly great horror films, to which "Candy Corn" is the antithesis of.
