À propos de ce film

Depuis toujours les grands ensemble de Cabrini Green à Chicago ont été terrorisés par une histoire terrifiante de tueur surnaturel. Dix ans après que les tours ont été démolies, l'artiste Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) et sa copine directrice de gallerie rianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris) emménagent dans un magnifique appartement dans Cabrini Green maintenant gentrifié et peuplé de jeunes cadres dynamiques. Alors que la carrière d'Anthony est au point mort, il rencontre par hasard un vieil habitant de Cabrini Green (Colman Domingo) qui lui révèle la nature horrible de l'histoire vraie de Candyman. Voulant maintenir son status dans le monde de l'art de Chicago, Anthony se sert de ces détails macabres dans son studio comme inspiration pour sa peinture, ouvrant ainsi involontairement une porte vers un passé complexe qui menace sa santé mentale et déclenche une vague de violence qui le pousse vers son destin.

Notes et avis

SPOILERS I walked out after 45 minutes of watching it in the cinema. I decided to watch it again. This movie looks good, the dialogue is mostly good, but the main protagonist is boring, even the twist at the end doesn't make his character interesting. The reason we are giving why it's all happening is really weak. Luckily this movie is short in length.

Fantastic sequel to the first movie! For maximum enjoyment watch the Tony Todd original Candyman then watch this straight after, you'll see how they tie in together much more clearly, but you've got to see the first one because this is definitely not a remake!

I rented this and then purchased to watch a few times. This is nowhere near as good as the original, but it was an interesting take. It was great to see Nathan in this, from Misfits. The actors were really good and I do like how they tried to incorporate the original story. I wasn't blown away by this though.
