Candyman: Shadow Puppets

Not at all as good as the previous films. The actors did good with what they had to work with. It was just tacky and lame at times. Not even worth a one time watch.

'Candyman (2020)' continues the trend of confusing titles in its series by being named the same thing as both the original film and its 2021 sequel. It's actually a short film depicting the history of the Candyman legend. It was released prior to Nia DaCosta's film as a sort of preview, but it actually plays during the credits of that film to compound its themes. It's a really effective short that portrays a series of vignettes depicting violence against black people, each of which added to the Candyman legend over the years and made it what it is today. Set to Phillip Glass' haunting score, the piece uses simple but effective shadow puppetry to tell its sad tale. It's a compelling film that hooks you immediately and doesn't let you go.

The movie was pretty good. Scary. Good pacing and acting. Doesn't deserve the hate. Don't be fooled by that. It really is a pretty good movie and was exciting to watch.

10/10. Easily. Any day. Picture is gorgeous. Acting is our of this world. I don't know how to write a review. I know how. But it's much work. It's a 10/10. Take my word for it. Or don't.

All you so called expert reviewers. This IS NOT a reboot or remake. It's a sequel. Stop making fools of yourselves by writing reviews on movies you obviously haven't seen. As for me personally, I didn't like it. I wanted more horror and gore. Great acting though.
