Review of Candyman (2021) by Moviemitch96 — 29 Aug 2021

Here we have a reboot/remake of sorts of the 1992 supernatural slasher flick of the same name that sees him haunting and cursing anyone who dare mention his name 5 times in the mirror. Modernized and updated by director Nia DaCosta and Jordan Peele serving as one of the writers, there's some good slasher fun to be had here at times, but the film also delves into its fair share of predictable horror tropes and cliches as well.

The film's third act also feels rushed and somewhat satisfying, but overall, fans of the original may appreciate some of the new ideas here, and visually, it's actually somewhat cool at times.
