Candy Corn

I was lucky enough not to get caught up in the unwarranted crowd funding hype so I was neither excited or turned off by this one

The good. The mask looks great, courtney gains does a good job, and the carnival setting looks cool.

The bad. Terrible fx and an inexcusable CGI blood effect. Underused Tony Todd and PJ soles. Terrible action, amateur editing and sound mistakes, and a completely wooden supporting cast.

That being said, I am interested to see what the director does next. He had some great core ideas and I think he has the stuff to make a good movie, it just wasn't this one.

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.

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

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

Constructive Criticism is a virtue.

This film doesn't even try to be original. The clichés flow one after another. Even for a low budget it still lacks anything of merit. The freakshow has zero customers!? Sheriff is useless and his sons acting is terrible. Couple of the make up effects are passable. But it's just a poorly shot, weak scripted pointless film cashing in on Tony Todd being in the film.......which he barely is and when appears in screen looks bored. Don't waste your time. It really has nothing goin for it. The promotion for this film was very good though I must say. The trailer made the film look good (did its job well) but it wasn't the film I saw. The fake reviews are just painfully obvious. It's rating tells you all you need to know. Avoid.
