We have finally arrived at the generation of filmmakers who have seen Rob Zombie's Halloween before John Carpenter's.

Candy corn is polarizing. There are those who say it is bad. And there are those objectively correct individuals who understand that it is an integral, delicious thread that weaves together the warm, comforting quilt that is Halloween. You can expect no such debate about…

What a disappointment. The acting was pretty bad, the constant slow motion reactions and scenes were annoying, and the over dramatic sound score was irritating. The dialogue was pretty terrible as well.

Was hoping I'd be able to add Candy Corn to my yearly Halloween rotation but I guess not. One of my favorite horror icons Tony Todd was in this film for maybe 10 mins and did absolutely nothing of note. Pj Soles made an brief appearance too, sitting at a desk and knodding a…

Candy Corn as a Halloween treat is absolute garbage. The first thing that I would throw away as a kid after trick or treating. The kind of treat that gets your house egged. Stale, waxy, and unsatisfying. Kind of like this movie. Anybody know where Josh Hasty lives?

Written/directed by a dweeb whose only personality trait is that he likes 80s horror movies and never got over the fact that he got bullied in high school. No vision, no voice, no creativity....just a flavorless rip-off of Halloween.

Could’ve been really awesome but instead it’s stale, it’s slow and really lacking of anything creepy or scary. The tone and style feels like Rob Zombie and John Carpenter directed this but feels like what they would make if they were bored and just wanted to make something…

Josh Hasty's Candy Corn

Technically there were characters and a plot. And the kills certainly killed people. Would’ve given it a meh if it wasn’t for the ending. The one decently-written character gets killed off-screen. No, just no.

The acting is trash. The story isn’t fully there. But the kills are great and for that it gets a thumbs up.
