Sobre este filme

Desde que os moradores se lembram, os projetos habitacionais do bairro Cabrini Green em Chicago eram aterrorizados por um assassino sobrenatural. Agora, o artista visual Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) e sua namorada (Teyonah Parris) mudam-se para um condomínio de luxo em Cabrini. Um encontro com um antigo morador de Cabrini (Colman Domingo) expõe Anthony à verdadeira história por trás de Candyman e desencadeia uma onda de violência que o coloca em rota de colisão com o destino.

Classificações e resenhas

Despite a new twist on the old tale along with interesting and suggestive kill set pieces instead of flat-out gore coupled with fine performances, Candyman (2021) pales in comparison to the 1992 original (although Tony Todd makes a very cool appearance in the film). Extremely preachy on the social commentary of the "Black Lives Matter" movement that is more of a distraction and hinderence. This is the film's downfall. The proverbial hook it guts itself with as well as the audience.

As a true horror buff I am a fan of every classic you could imagine, this took me back to the original but also had a modern fresh feel. Good graphics and story. Worth the watch.

l loved the original movie better then this one the end l found was the only good part. l felt it dragged on l would of liked to see Helen. good bloody parts in this movie but really the original was better
