Acerca de esta película

Desde que los residentes tienen memoria, las construcciones del barrio Cabrini Green de Chicago han estado bajo la sombra de la leyenda de un asesino sobrenatural. Una década después de que las torres de Cabrini fueran derribadas, el artista visual Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) y su novia, Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), directora de una galería de arte, se mudan a un apartamento de lujo en Cabrini, ahora aburguesado e irreconocible, habitado por millenials de clase media alta. La carrera de Anthony como pintor está estancada. Se cruza con un anciano de Cabrini Green que le cuenta sobre la trágica y horrenda naturaleza de la verdadera historia detrás de Candyman. Ansioso por mantener su reputación en los círculos artísticos de Chicago, Anthony explora detalles macabros en su estudio en busca de inspiración para nuevos cuadros. Sin saberlo, abre la puerta hacia un pasado que pone en riesgo su cordura y desata una aterradora ola de violencia que lo enfrenta a su destino.

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.

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.

Awful. The original was brilliant and scary. This is just slow, boring, and the candyman is hardly seen. It's also way too political and plainly anti police. Rubbish.
