Candyman: Shadow Puppets

This movie is about as woke as modern horror can get. It doesn't subvert expectations and play on racial discomforts like Get Out: Candyman 2021 is literally a story about black ghosts and the responsibility that gets passed on to the supernatural when justice fails. It should be laughable and you wouldn't expect to take it seriously.

Except you do.

There isn't much runtime and the titular Candyman is more symbolic this time around. The horror is lightweight as well. The most prevailing thing is the very realistic characters and the symbolism. Basically Candyman gives you more to think about than horror.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's certainly a good movie.

The movie was pretty good. Scary. Good pacing and acting. Doesn't deserve the hate. Don't be fooled by that. It really is a pretty good movie and was exciting to watch.

Very little horror, a lot of woke drama scenes, and hard to get into if you're wanting to watch a supernatural horror on a Friday date night.

All you so called expert reviewers. This IS NOT a reboot or remake. It's a sequel. Stop making fools of yourselves by writing reviews on movies you obviously haven't seen. As for me personally, I didn't like it. I wanted more horror and gore. Great acting though.

Candyman was creepy/ and frightening in the beginning and slowly tapered down to a mystery. I enjoyed the movie, I did smack my teeth a little. But it was still worth it, worth the money.
