Lots to love about this. The call backs to the original are well done and provide good references and plot points. It’s also revealed that there are multiple ‘Candymen’, with the main character in this one, Anthony, become the fourth iteration. Tony Todd is also in this, which was cool to see. Anthony being the abducted child from the original film is very cool. The acting is good, editing great and cinematography surprisingly excellent. There isn’t enough of Candyman in this for me though, he’s barely seen and it’s not a very brutal film. It’s barely a horror, more of a thriller, as the film isn’t scary one bit. It’s still a good time though and we’ll worth watching. Watched at Vue with my beautiful ❤️

Fantastic linkage to the original, visceral and pretty raw racial, social, bodily materials. Where the the 1990's pawed around the margins of the topics in question, this one dives in and scoops at the guts. I wouldn't have minded a longer cut, it felt like it was rushing to try and give adequate time to all the ideas on the table... but is that really messy like other users are stating? Maybe, but whatever-- a beautiful and painful film, I couldn't stop the tears.

MAJOR TRYPOPHOBIA WARNING Though i guess by now everyone knows (thank god i watched the kill count before i even saw this movie so i knew when to look away) Its a decent horror film but i felt like the ending needed more... 7.5 out of 10 stars
