My wife and I watched Bernard Rose's Candyman from 1992.
This is a fantastic Clive Barker produced horror film that hasn't aged at all. Daring enough to shoot at the real-life Cabrini–Green housing project (before it was torn down) and to have a black villain.
Also notable for using hypnosis on the lead actress, to help induce trance-like states. A mouthful of bees is just one standout moment. Film score - 8.5/10. Classic genre film.
Viewed it via the UK's Universal Blu-ray:
PQ and AQ is serviceable but there is a lot of room for improvement. It's also the R rated version only, the additional violence only happens during the psychiatrist murder but I would obviously prefer to own an uncut version.
