    A for ATROCIOUS

    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.

    Negatives outweigh the positives

    The good: Makeup

    The bad: Just about everything else. Poor casting (non-actors who are too old for the behavior depicted); poor script (even if the actors could deliver a line, these are too cheesy), poor pacing (there were times when I had to fight sleep; the single note piano lines of the score didn't help), poor screenplay (illogical, pointless behavior and lots of it.)

    The only thing good about this movie is...

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

    Constructive Criticism is a virtue.

    A VERY DULL & BORING FILM

    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.

    Step in the right direction

    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.

    • Goofs
      Dr Death's stage makeup changes from leaving his caravan to appearing on stage. He sets out looking like the end has burst open, but starts his act with something more like a kitten nose.
