The trailer was like 10 x cooler than the actual movie. Like, i was hyped to go see this for months and now i wish i never wasted my time doing so.
Plot: predictable yet incoherent. Character building: boring. And maybe the worse part is that the movie wasn't scary for a second when it could have needed a lot of that.
This film was boring and the script was bland. The first kill was great and I was excited to see what other creative kills there would be but I was disappointed to learn that pretty much every other kills were off camera.....why? Completely ruined the film for me. The characters were also boring and had no real character development and the ending felt rushed. Terrible film overall and ultimately boring.
An attempt to put a spin on an old classic to showcase how the rich Hollywood elites are apparently being held down by the white man. This movie portrays every white character as evil and every police officer as criminal. This spin on 'Candyman' is less of a horror film and more of a political statement from Hollywood. The only thing this movie will be sure to do is propagate the racial divide in this country even more.
Ending let the movie down.. too political for me. Film could've been better and more creative but the ending was somewhat cliche.
Candyman is more like a Sourpatch
The movie is not a remake, but a continuous storyline of the original Candyman movie. I was disappointed, and here's why:
Perhaps though, the most horrific part of this movie was how Candyman was portrayed; they totally abolished Tony Todd's Candyman.
If you're not into horror movies, I'll tell ya it's not good anyways. If you are, it's comparable to being as bad as Nightmare On Elm Street 2, but with a way more boring script.
