My review
This is a sequel but didn’t they have one years ago maybe this took places years and years after first movie have to say that opening was creepy with candyman song being played fits opening well because title is candyman. Well we see a kid in a room and someone comes out mirror as image of him with hook did they forget 3 times candyman say allready look like it or this is candyman as a child and this how it started his voice sounds deep as candyman I am interested if this how this got started most remakes go that way gives us more of story of characters of horror.
Later on guy said he saw candyman and yes that Tony Todd does show up in flashback I wonder how many times he will show up and if he the main bad guy of the movie hopefully you can not much have him not be candyman shows up at 34 min mark after a slow build up that reason why I am not much a fan of horror remakes they are very slow build and sometimes only see him kill 2 people after his name was said many times least writers are getting better at that now hopefully.
The story is ok but again slow build about a guy name Anthony Looking into candyman and his past he finds out he may have a past with Candyman like when he was born he was Chosen my guess to be the new killer Candyman pretty much look like it going that way.
And last 20 mins I was right either he become the new candyman or merg with the one now it was can of odd how it ending with candyman saying tell everyone as it rolls to credits will say credits was cool though.
Will say not the worst remake I see still gory and scary and tony Todd only shows up at the end there as we were giving 2 new characters can of confused story but still not a bad horror movie but it was not best of 1992 one it was great see Tony Todd at the end why only time is can of silly maybe he step aside or guy writing this didn’t force on him more this is a remake so probably would of been nice to add him in more for us fans though anyway is this movie a letdown yes and sort of no does have not a bad story to candyman series the ending was passing of torch with a new version I am sure Tony will retire from being candyman that why he pass the torch now will we get new movies not sure doubt it but will see.
That it for this week horror movie review see you next weekend for next one.
I give Candyman (2021) a rating of 6/10
As I write this here in 2024 November Tony Todd has pass away will remember him playing the candyman and the voice of Zoom what a great actor he was and he will be missed Rest in peace Tony Todd.
