The film's complexity emerges less from the gory slayings than from a more moral brand of confrontation.

Flickering Myth

Candy Corn is un-even and feels more like a miss than a hit, but I can't deny there's something that endeared me through the viewing.

Rated: 2.5/5

Candy Corn is stale and not nearly sweet enough for genre fans.

Battle Royale With Cheese

In the end, Candy Corn is not a bad film - it's well made and everyone involved give it their all, but that's all trapped by a stale script and an inability to provide any real scary moments.

Candy Corn is a love letter to Halloween and classic slashers of the 70's and 80's that is sure to be a holiday favorite for horror fans.

Film Threat

It's a wonderful celebration of '80s genre cinema that writer/director/editor Josh Hasty put quite a bit of work into to retain the authenticity of its place in time.

Rated: 8/10

I really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's low budget, acting isn't great, costumes are mediocre (took me 25 minutes to figure out it was set in the 80's?), but I had a good time. And, the people involved seemed to care and be having a good time as well. A Tony Todd cameo is always great. Don't set you expectations to Kubrick, and have a good time. Cheers!

Not bad but lacking in much depth besides a basic revenge story

The movie is great and worth watching, but it is not scary as much as it should be

A group of friends decide to bully a boy as part of their annual Halloween tradition. The plan goes terribly wrong when the boy is killed in an act of tremendous violence. The victim is resurrected to seek revenge against those who fatally showed no mercy to him. "Candy Corn" is a nostalgic throwback to the 80's slasher films. The movie only stands out for its gory and exaggerated death scenes, a limited value in terms of the entertainment it has to offer.

I just can't do movies like this. We're talking about a low-budget horror film called ‘Candy Corn' that does muted, piano-scored, "emotionally weighty" conversations that are so heavily dramatized, I could barely tell if it was supposed to be parody. If it just played it straight but recognized its genre, I might not have keyed in on it so much. But it's so self-serious that I couldn't ignore how tired I was. It's like staring at a home video from 30 years ago trying to solve a series of murders that didn't actually happen.
