For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural killer. A decade after the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials. With Anthony's painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.

No scares and an overly contrived story full of plot holes and loose ends. Heavy handed symbolism that would have been fine for a good movie but here just serves to increase the boredom. The main actor tries his best with what he had, but the supporting cast are not great, though probably more the fault of the script than the actors themselves.

Really good but the scary stuff was not scary at all
