      I never thought of him as underrated. Media (television) just downplayed Candyman for quite some time which might make people think he's underrated. In actuality, Candyman is more frightening than Jason, Freddy, Ghostface and some others in my opinion and Candyman has a deeper message and more layered story than many other slasher films, which is awesome.

    • @poshjesscott8287
      @poshjesscott8287 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@J0r-El Eh I dont consider his lore any deeper than wrongful things done. The 3 have different nature of their origin. Jason was neglected and perished at the irresponsibility of others, and freddy was killed rightly so and struck a deal with dream people after. And the injustices to Candyman served an unique backstory for his taking of victims. And provided a much more romanticized and empathetic delivery for doing so. So I agree that his arc stands alone, but I dont know if I would say deeper than normal human anger/stupidity/vigilante motivated backstories. I am just speaking as a horror fan, I always kept them all on an equal platitude. Jason, Freddy, Candyman, Meyers, Wishmaster, etc Except ghostface/leatherface/and all human psychos. They were like the 3rd string killers for me.
      But I def agree I didnt see as many trailers for Candyman as say Nightmare on Elm st.

      The reason you don't see him or any other unknown higher caliber actors an actresses of color especially oold school folks that paved th way and slo never got main roles in Hwood. Racism and being minority under 16% they dont have the audience $$ that anglo has and that's the main audience that pays for the films. Think of all the sports main audience and what they look like .. $$ rules over actors and actresses of color..
