I promised it here it is my review of candyman the remake.
Since it's my first time discussing candyman I'll quickly say my thoughts on the original classic candyman.
I always thought it was a good movie with a really good slasher never one of my all time favorites but Tony Todd may be one of my favorite horror actors and he really brings the roll to life.
I'd say a solid 7 to 8/10 as I couldnt really think of anything bad but now onto the remake.
THE CHARACTERS
I'll straight up say I didnt dislike a person in this film and even the ganeric jerks in slasher films like this were basically immediately killed off I thought there dialogue between eachother was good the main artist's mental obsession became very interesting and it was just uh so good.
So surprisingly
Characters 10/10
THE SCARES /CANDYMAN
I'll be brutally honest I always thought candyman was cool but I never thought he was that scary his voice had a great presence to him but I always fear more someone like Freddy,leatherface or pennywise comeing for me rather then candyman but in the remake something happened.
Candyman was actually scary they used him in many creative ways to scare you his presence was still there and the way he used mirrors was very creative and a blast to watch.
If I had to rename this film it would be NOPE IM OUT the movie nearly every scene in my mind I was just like no get out of ther come on leave why are you putting me through this.
Then that ending after a very intense climax after all the scares we finally see candyman up close now my biggest worry for candyman was that tony Todd did so good in the role I thought he couldnt be topped but then after a really creepy speech it reveals the director's were smart and kept candyman the same the legend tony todd staying as the role heck even it makes sence continuity wise as this is SPOILER ALERT a suprise seqaul to the original that was a brilliant twist.
In the end
SCARES/CANDYMAN
10/10
CONCLUSION
this film has gone up there with friday the 13th as one of my favorite horror remakes it's another remake that like I always think surpasses the original and while I'm sure many will not agree I'm giveing CANDYMAN 2021
A 10/10
SEE YOU ALL NEXT TIME BYE
