You knew this was on the right path the minute Jordan Peele was announced as writer and producer & he made the right call bringing in Nia DaCosta to direct. Its obvious both are very in touch with what Candyman is and represents at its core & because of that they find ways to elevate the material overall. Add in DaCosta's beautiful (and bloody) visual style & this functions as a near perfect sequel reboot, so much so that I think it improves the original! Very smart, very clever and very very Candyman! This is how you rejuvenate a franchise! Show Less

The fact that this movie understands what makes Candyman, Candyman is why it 100% lives up to the OG. In fact I think it understands it so well, that the twist the add I think actually elevates the material going forward as well as the original story. See all my thoughts https://youtu.be/PRukeEeoIno

Peele and DaCosta don't do anything to ruin the Candyman story, but this is yet another movie that we didn't need & the original is just far and away better. There are less scares & less gore, and the presence of Candyman is very different in this story, just didn't quite hit for me. In the world of Candyman, there can be only one & his name is Tony Todd, period end of sentence. Show Less
