Franchise
Why it’s HorroRated
Candyman 2021 extends the original's mythology with a formal intelligence the franchise hadn't brought to the material since 1992. Nia DaCosta's visual sensibility is distinctive and the shadow puppet sequences are the most formally original thing the series has produced. A continuation that takes the legend's racial dimension completely seriously.
Synopsis
Nia DaCosta directs with a visual formalism that distinguishes the film immediately and the shadow puppet sequences are the most formally original thing the franchise has produced. A continuation that takes the legend's racial dimension completely seriously.
