This quintessential ‘90s fixture of contemporary horror follows a Chicago graduate student who, in the midst of studying urban folklore, accidentally summons a hook-handed ghost who appears whenever his name is chanted 5 times in front of the mirror. While the film’s campy horror thrills inspired a bevy of sequels, the original displays a heftier moral timbre: exploring the legacy of slavery in the US through the lingering story of the Candyman’s initial demise.
