Candyman (2021)
2021 | Horror
In short, Nia DaCosta has crafted a wonderfully slow burning horror that takes the series in a fresh direction whilst nicely paying tribute to the original.
Candyman is a film that relishes in it's pacing, making the most of it's almost 'mystery' narrative, and expanding the wider Candyman lore whilst still feing familiar.
The whole cast is great. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is always solid whatever he's doing and here is no different. The whole movie is visually wonderful. There are countless shots that are memorable and inspired, and the cinematography gave me chills multiple times throughout.
The scares are seldom, leaning more towards a generally unsettling tone that builds into a horrifically blood curdling finale that almost had me cheering in the cinema.
To conclude - go and see Candyman. It's fucking great.
