If Candyman hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: urban legend
The difference: Trades the stillness of Candyman for an angle of its own

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath

Both land stillness and tension at once


Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
The difference: Made in the 2010s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on unease more than on thriller

Horror built on tension, twice over

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair



One thread runs through both: melancholy

Drama built on unease, twice over
