Film: 8pm
When grad student Helen Lyne (Virginia Madsen) begins working on a thesis about urban legends, she comes across the terrifying tale of the Candyman (Tony Todd) - a vengeful, hook-handed spirit who can be summoned by saying his name five times in the mirror. As her research leads her into the bowels of Chicago's deprived housing projects and deeper into the Candyman's world, Helen learns that some legends are best left well alone.
Expertly directed by British filmmaker Bernard Rose and boasting an astounding score by composer Philip Glass, Candyman ingeniously reworks Clive Barker's original short story "The Forbidden" into an intelligent, socially-conscious modern horror parable that remains as timely today as ever.
Arrive early to grab popcorn and drinks, and to enjoy our one-hour pre show. We will also lead a discussion after the film for any that want to stay and participate.
