Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and filmmaker Nia DaCosta unleash a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend: Candyman. For decades, the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini-Green were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural, hook handed killer. In present day, an artist (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) begins to explore the macabre history of Candyman, not knowing it would unravel his sanity and unleash a terrifying wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.

Fresh

At its core, Candyman (2021) attempts to explore how Black trauma is intergenerational. Exploring how the atrocities inflicted on our ancestors years prior still affect our lives today.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Zoë Rose Bryant

Rotten

Candyman has style to spare in its horror setpieces, but the script is far too cluttered and confusing for its social commentary to land, despite director Nia DaCosta's best efforts behind the camera.

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

Rotten

It’s a great idea on the surface, but the story ends up needlessly convoluted and with gaping holes in its logic. And while it seems interested in meaningful topics such as race and gentrification, just referencing them isn’t the same as dealing with them

Next Best Picture

Rotten

There is hardly a moment when the characters and themes are all that alluring, leaving dissatisfaction at the bungled storytelling that ends on a ridiculous note that is unfulfilling.

Fresh

Nia DaCosta's artful horror sequel reflexively rewrites both the traditions of its own franchise and the white narratives of American history.
