Fans will remember from the original 1992 film how he is summoned by those who repeat his name five times into a mirror. The 2021 film and it’s terrifying scenes left horror fans “too scared to take a shower.” The cult classic, directed by Bernard Rose, starred Tony Todd as Daniel Robitaille and Virginia Marsden, as Helen Lyle. However Candyman, directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Jordan Peele, is set in present day, with the towers torn down. Visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his partner, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), move into a luxury loft. Anthony begins to explore the history of the land which the new apartment is built on, and a fresh take on the legend begins. Colman Domingo plays a man called William Burke who tells Antony about the Candyman and Tony Todd returns as the evil killer. Reviewing Candyman 2021, on Rotten Tomatoes, one critic said: “Candyman is a worthy sequel to the 1992 original. It’s well-paced and it builds upon the universes mythology in a meaningful way.” Another said: “A breathtaking beauty of a horror film. Clever, brutal and entrancing, it spreads its dark wings over you as you watch the colours in front of you.” Meanwhile audience reviews were equally glowing: “Lives up to the original as a worthy successor and dives deeper into narratives of the original. Stronger social commentary, graphics, story, and kills that revive the franchise to its former glory.” Before the 2021 Candyman movie, there were two other films, released in 1995 and 1999 called Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and Candyman: Day of the Dead. This means it is the fourth film made about the legend, based on short story The Forbidden by Clive Barker.
