And what a story, of Black 19th century artist Daniel Robitaille, played by the great Tony Todd in the '92 version, who fell in love with the white woman he was painting until a white mob cut off his hand, smeared him with honey to attract killer bees and then burned him alive. Candyman rose out of his ashes.
It’s macabre fun until DaCosta’s satire grows fangs. Though she only shows the gore from oblique angles, the dread feels doubled. Unlike the original, which spawned two dim sequels, this daring, definitive corrective is seen exclusively from a Black perspective. As the bee sting on Anthony’s hand festers, the Candyman spectre emerges as a symbol of community revolt against white violence to Black bodies. As Burke says,"Candyman ain’t a he, Candyman’s the whole damn hive."You can fault the film’s heavy messaging but not its blazing passion for racial justice and the need to see the demon inside ourselves.
With his grisly, mirrored art installations, Anthony uses parodistic art-world language to claim he’s"trying to align these moments in time that exist in the same place. The idea is to almost calibrate tragedy into a focused lineage that culminates in the new."The scares are off the charts, but only as a means to confront the film’s challenges. You’ll think hard about everything you see.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in ‘Candyman’: Film ReviewIn Candyman, Nia DaCosta uses the 1992 film as a jumping-off point for bone-chilling horror that expands on the urban legend within the context of Black history, as well as the distorting white narrative that turns Black victims into monsters Review: what BS. Hollywood stopped portraying black people as any kind of villain decades ago. They are now laughably unrealistic & out of touch with real world cause hardly any criminals in film or Tv are black. Now even the ONE famous horror villain is spun as a victim! Sounds like woke sjw bullshit. Shame. I’ll be watching the original Candyman And how about the black narrative that turns the white lead of the original into a monster even though at least 2 of the characters would tell the real story. And there is only one Candyman and that's Tony Todd and this doesn't deserve to use those two seconds at the end of him
