A children's ghost story comes to terrifying life in this gut-wrenching thriller about a graduate student, Helen, whose research into modern folklore summons the spirit of Candyman, a slave phantom with a hook hand who is said to haunt Chicago's notorious Cabrini-Green housing project. Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can't really exist, until he appears, igniting a string of terrifying, tragic slayings.
