Review of Candyman (2021) by Mrfutbol107 — 02 Sep 2021

Waste of an hour and a half. If you are going to watch a scary movie with a dumb story the entertainment comes from the scares. This movie is not scary, the jump scares boil down to the movie getting quiet for a second and then a loud unnatural sound effect.

For an example, in the beginning they transition a scene with a loud unnatural snapping noise because the main character steps on a stick in the next scene. In scenes where there could be scares and the candyman is killing people they decide not to show it.

This movie felt more like an excuse to tell people “gentrification is bad, white people are racist, cops are bad.” I would give it a zero but I did like some of the cinematography in a couple scenes.
