Min Ji-suk runs a "ticket bar"where customers can purchase tickets for certain "services"in the town of Sokcho in Gangwon-do. She hires Miss Yang (Ahn So-young), Miss Hong (Lee Hye-young), and Se-young (Jeon Se-young) through the employment agency. Miss Yang and Miss Hong, who are well experienced in this type of business, are used to accepting propositions from customers. But Se-young, who is dating a college student named Min-su, rejects all requests for sexual favors. When Min-su professes to having problems with his tuition and finances, Se-young reassures him that she will procure the necessary funds for him. When the bar's clientele begins to dwindle because of Se-young, Ji-suk reprimands her severely. Se-young develops a close relationship with a Captain Pak and even allows him to sleep with her. She asks Captain Pak to find Min-su employment on a boat, but when Min-su comes to Sokcho for his new job, he sees how Se-young has been making her living. Shocked, he turns his back on the job and leaves. When he eventually returns to Sokcho, he scathingly denounces Se-young's morality and severs their relationship. Decades ago, Ji-suk had stumbled into the bar business in a desperate effort to support her husband, who was serving time in prison; she later left him voluntarily out of shame and moral degradation. Concerned that Se-young will end up with the same fate, Ji-suk asks Min-su to meet with her. She begs him not to abandon Se-young, but he flatly refuses. Ji-suk reacts by pushing Min-su into the sea, and suffers a mental breakdown that lands her in a psychiatric institution.
内核是种族？赶紧去看老版！（竟然是第一次一起看电影看的）
作为惊悚片是失败的，最后的高潮转折，气氛也没有烘托上去。主角作为上中产阶级，和生养他的黑人社群之间的隔膜、冲突和共鸣，几乎没看到什么笔触。整那么大的豪华公寓就没有意义了。
有的影片将隐喻融入故事，有的影片在隐喻中插入电影。前者让人在欣赏电影的同事产生思考，后者把自己的想法粗暴地塞给观众……影片工整对称的构图和精致的镜头带来一种高级的美感，同时又渗透着令人窒息的压抑。然而故事过于俗套和直白，导演把佛洛依德和黑人骨子里的愤怒糊在观众脸上。这次“无法呼吸”的不是黑人群体，而是无辜的观众。
近30年后重拍，节奏和剪辑还是有点瑕疵，恐怖、惊悚感都大为降低...血浆度也不够，cult味则荡然无存...
Overrated. Nice cinematography tho.
故事非常割裂以至于，我都不知道导演想表达什么
女主喊糖果人那五声演技爆棚啊！芝加哥真漂亮！and因为对黑人脸盲结果最后没看懂，去看了谷阿莫才看懂 #racist
7/10 Successful for a horror movie, but then the lack of finesse really shows when you have too much to say through a horror movie but don’t know how to deliver the messages artfully.
元素用的相当好，在当代背景下，用现代艺术界和精英价值观来重新审视与解构都市传说，蜂巢与城市的对应也很妙。和天鹅绒圆锯一样展现了一种击破傲慢的“高雅”虐杀。因为内核太饱满，反而缺乏点让人兴奋的惊悚片要素了。
如果是个短片也许会不错，没有情绪发酵沉淀，剧情高潮全靠血浆，矛盾冲突全靠种族。
新版Candy Man在Jordan Peele的操刀下也成了critical race theory 影响下creative exploration.以种族议题为作品内核的现代艺术家一步步走向urban legends的深渊。虽然把诸如白人至上，police brutality等问题进一步简单化脸谱化，但只杀White people的candy men在电影最后竟然有种大快人心的正义感。与其说是恐怖片，更像是带有奇幻元素的剧情片，毕竟这片的血浆程度还不如malignant
自从《逃出绝命镇》这种恐怖片+种族主义的电影大火之后，此类题材影视剧便如同雨后春笋般一个接一个冒了出来，但是，真正做到成功的只有《绝命镇》，就这部电影来说，导演意图很明显，就是像借着恐怖的壳，内涵种族主义，顺带为黑人平权，但其能力不够，电影整体拍得凌乱又寡味；可惜此片深度达不到，血腥又不够，唯一亮点霓虹美学和镜子的运用还不错。念5遍candyman，一个黑人来杀人，念1遍911一群白人杀黑人，真是讽刺又可笑，两星，不推荐！
很喜欢许许多多“镜像”概念的设计。看到一半就知道是老乔丹皮尔了，种族问题的表达和集体意识的对位关系呈现，完全大于了恐怖这个元素或是类型本身。而且这些组成部分之间非常割裂和脱节，像是不断的给我一拳再给我上一堂课
内涵种族问题，导演能力不够，只能借助恐怖片背景，凑足一堆zzzq元素，外加血浆当调料，但乱炖出来的东西，更烂
围绕鬼魂糖果人（来历是过去时代枉死的黑人。可以说是黑人守护神）的故事：以糖果人为艺术灵感不断发掘他故事的艺术家黑人男主；想把男主做成糖果人的黑人比利；到处为黑人申冤（即杀死对黑人不公的白人们）的糖果人；等。摄影和运镜/场面调度都还不错，但问题是节奏塞的太满，还有没想清楚到底是拍超级英雄还是拍惊悚恐怖片。
讲真不吓人，黑人平权这种zz正确也太明显了，哈哈。
作为恐怖片，它是失败的，不管从什么角度来看，都不合格。但是作为一部可以过分解读的种族政治片来说，它可能是成功的。对于自己来说，没有观看1992年那部糖果人，在没有故事基础的情况下观看本片，效果是极差的，也奈何如此没有过度解读隐喻元素的能力。所以，总的来说就是，等了很久的片，满怀期待，结果大失所望，低分也在所难免。
这哪是隐喻，完全是把种族问题赤裸裸的摆到桌面上，抛开政治不谈作为恐怖片是蛮失败的~5.0
内核是种族？赶紧去看老版！（竟然是第一次一起看电影看的）
可能是今年看过的最悲伤的故事
