Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe bees were bred specifically for this movie. They needed to make sure that the bees were only twelve hours old, so that they looked like mature bees, but their stinger wouldn't be powerful enough to do any real damage.
- Goofs64 minutes in, when Helen is having a medical injection, the needle bends on her shoulder.
- Crazy creditsThe first half of the end credits zooms in on the film's final scene.
- Alternate versionsAlthough the versions shown on Channel 4 TV and released on UK VHS video were completely uncut all DVD releases (including the 2006 Collector's Edition) feature the pre-cut R-rated US print. This version edits the killing of the psychiatrist by Candyman and shortens scenes of blood spurting towards Helen's face.

Featured review
The original classic
A fine horror movie with a disturbing heart at the centre of it. I don´t find it perfect nor great, but it´s really good and totally deserves its cult status. Let´s see what they do with the reinterpretation.
