Candyman (1992) was a horror hit about a murderous soul with a hook for a hand. A dark soul that can be summoned simply by a person saying his name in the mirror five times.
Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Tony Todd, Teyonah Parris, plus, co-written by Jordan Peele and directed by Nia DaCosta; we have a new Candyman story for 2021. This time the dark murderous soul returns to the now-gentrified Chicago neighbourhood where it all began.
I remember watching the original Candyman movie but I’d forgotten about the bees. I don’t believe the original movie gave me nightmares. However, I may have blocked out such unsavoury events from memory.
This trailer looks good, DaCosta is a promising new director and Jordan Peele’s involvement can only mean good things. I therefore can’t wait to see how this turns out. I’ll be watching as early as possible in the day. That way, by nighttime, hopefully I’d have forgotten about the scenes that have the potential to induce nightmares.
Colman Domingo, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Rebecca Spence, Cassie Kramer, Brian King, Miriam Moss, Avery Moss, Nadia Simms and Hannah Love Jones also star.
Candyman Release Dates: August 27th, 2021 (US & UK)…

The Movie My Life 
I think I’ll need to watch the first one before this.
Do it! You’ve got just over three months. Just don’t say Candyman 5 times into a mirror or you may not make it to to the release date! 😁😳
I have no memory of the first film now that I think about it! But I do like Abdul-Mateen so I’ll probably see it just for that 🙂
I think I’ve only seen Abdul Marteen in Aquaman, so far. I look forward to seeing just how much his character regrets bringing Candyman back to life.
You’ve got 3 months and a week or so, to rewatch the original if you so wish.
