Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProduction was brought back to the Cabrini Green neighborhood where Candyman (1992) was filmed. Though the high-rise buildings have long been demolished, the Rowhouses still exist.
- GoofsHaley reads from the program describing Say My Name at the Night Driver gallery. The program reads 'In foreground, Helen Lyle: a white, privileged, graduate student whose obsession with her research into a [sic] an urban legend called, "Candyman," led to her bizarre self-emulation in the housing projects courtyard in the early 90's.' The word "emulation" is confused with "immolation", which means death by fire.
- Quotes
Detective Lipez: Who are you?
Anthony McCoy: I am the writing on the walls. I am the sweet smell of blood on the street. The buzz that echoes in the alleyways. They will say I shed innocent blood. You are far from innocent, but they will say you were. That's all that matters.

Featured review
Clearly none of these reviews understood the original
Scrolling through these reviews, I saw a couple 5 and 6 stars, but mostly 1 and 2, all complaining about the movie focusing on racism rather than horror, and blaming Jordan Peele (even though this is not his solo film). All I have to say is these people have either never seen the original Candyman or failed to understand it. If you think the original didn't have anything to do with race I think you should watch it again. Nia Dacosta did a great job with this film and tying all the legends together, creating a "spiritual sequel" as planned. Candyman has never been cut and dry horror, and while I agree there could have been more chilling moments, this is not as bad of a film as these other reviewers would like you to think. If you walk into a black horror film expecting jason vorhees or michael myers, that's your fault, not Dacosta's.
