Nia DaCosta’s reimagining of Bernard Rose’s 1992 film asks interesting questions about race but is let down by an abrupt and unsatisfying ending.

Nia DaCosta and Jordan Peele imbue the horror cult classic with political dimensions that are poignant and darkly comic by turns.

Viewers of the new Candyman movie get overblown discourse instead of genuine horror.

RTHorror Movie TalkSep 23, 2025

Candyman (2021) lures you in with the sweet sweet promise of reviving a seductive and unique horror villain icon, and ends up remolding the legend of Candyman into a more generic set of boogeymen that fail to capture the imagination in the same way.
