Candyman: Shadow Puppets

A rather curious short film, but with a certain artistic touch that through the figures narrates the story of the Candyman legend in an expressionist way. What's fascinating about this short film is that the story hints at what Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta tried to do in the sequel to the original film. What this short film narrates is how the death of Daniel Robitaille was just the beginning of something that would be built through the racial crimes that occurred throughout the era. This implies that Daniel has become a vengeful entity whose power grew as the souls of the victims of racial crimes joined him to the point of becoming a single being: Candyman. As the sequel states, Candyman is a metaphor for how racial discrimination ends up resulting in anger on the part of the oppressed group that begins to take the place of the oppressor. This short film narrates quite well how the Candyman legend began to grow throughout history as a consequence of inequality. Good short film, the truth and I rate it with an 8/10.

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.

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.

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.

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.
