‘Candyman’ Is Out Now On Demand

Oscar® winner Jordan Peele unleashes a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend of Candyman. Directed by Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, upcoming Captain Marvel 2), who breathes new life into the classic horror franchise with the movie that is out now On Demand. “For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In the present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO’s “Watchmen”, Us) and his partner, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; If Beale Street Could Talk, The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials. With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter

Movie Review: ‘Candyman’ Is Worthy Of All The Buzz

One of the films I’ve been looking forward to seeing the most this year is the new installment of the Candyman franchise and tonight I finally got my chance. Director Nia DaCosta breathes new life into the franchise that gave me nightmares back in 1992 when the original premiered, telling the story of Daniel Robitaille, played by Tony Todd. The new movie starts off with all of the credits appearing in reverse, which is how you would see it if you were looking in a mirror. It is a fun touch. Candyman begins with Anthony, an artist looking for inspiration. When he hears the tale of Candyman he sets out to investigate, not knowing the hell he’s about to unleash on the newly gentrified Cabrini Green and not knowing that he is connected to the legend. I’ll be honest, I was not sure what to expect from the new film. I was concerned that it might not have the same
