Review of Candyman (2021) by Silures_Celt — 19 Sep 2021

Granted Candyman is a movie based on racial elements but this is a 'horror' movie that trades the horror for political commentary, it feels forced and poorly written, the characters were also poorly written and unlikable and the ending was also really poor. The story was a convoluted mess, it should have concentrated on being its own thing rather than trying to tie into the original because this movie fails at both being a remake or a sequel, it's clear it doesn't know what it was meant to be either and Anthony and Ann-Marie should have been left out entirely. On the positive side, the cinematography was very good and well shot, the acting was good and the script was decent for the most part.

In summary, this movie failed in my opinion, I just wish movies would return to telling a good story rather than pandering and forcing political narratives, I think many people are getting sick of it now, it's hurting franchises and future movies.
