Putting a mirror up as a piece of art in a gallery is actually genius. You know people will take pics in the mirror, essentially making them (the viewer) the work of art. 😮

Let's see if it works again. Mr movies Mr movies Mr movies Mr movies Mr movies Waits patiently lol
the credits at the end show each Candyman and simply the mistreatment of each person. One in particular that reminded me of a true story which was the little kid that was falsely accused of murder and was sentenced to death and executed by electric chair. The fact that their is a picture of him in that chair crying right before his sentence was carried out ....
I wish films would come with a trypophobia warning 😂😂 I wretched so bad when I first saw this when his skin looks like honeycomb 🤢🤢🤢🤢 It should also come with a 'nails are pulled out' warning too 🤣🤣
I dont know about the lore of this killer, but from what i understand, he needs to be remembered. This piece of art and the media coverage is what he wants. People talking about it, tempting fate by trying it in their mirrors. The more people that know the story, the stronger he is.

Candyman is a myth. A rumor. A story. And stories change in the telling. They become different. The fairy tales of old are *vastly* different than what most children are told today. So it is with Candyman. Myths and stories fill a need. And they change to fill those needs as the needs of community shift. That's why I like this take on Candyman.
The moment they opened with telling the Candyman myth in a way that contradicted what we'd seen in the first film told me that they really understood the story at its core: it's oral tradition, which is what kept Candyman alive to begin with, and it also is extremely susceptible to error and narrative drift. It's like the myth of the man with the hook hand (so much so that they gave their monster the same hook hand) that's been around for decades.
I really thought this movie was gonna be good because of the amazing trailers … but then it came out & I saw it. One of the worst movies that came out this year. The fact that scream 5 or 6 really made it out to be as good as the original was ridiculous because it was so bad & not even close to the original Candyman film which is a horror classic.
its so weird for thelast day ive been say "cabrini green" for no reason, i havent thought about this movie at all. i was just repeating it for no reason, lol glad a reaction has come from my unconscious dedication
Mr. Movies is fine saying Candyman because A) he's not alone, and B) he's not staring at a reflective surface so he won't be able to see the Candyman show up
Me and my brother laughed throughout this whole movie 🤣🤣we was like a dude coming out of a hole is creepy idc what they say. Also they not about to make us believe candyman forms into other people that was victimized like no
You guys need to react to the movie "Exists".I'm not going to say much about the movie except that it's a movie that came out in 2014 and it blew my away.
They should have called it Candymen because it introduces the concept of there being more than one. I thought it was an okay movie but I prefer the first two sequels over this one.
The Coven thing kind ov messed up the flow ov making this movie. It seem a loss train ov thought happened after filming resumed. Or maybe I 🤔 think It wasn't coming to theaters
I live near Cabrini Green, or what use to be Cabrini Green. Till this day on a cool night, you can still hear the whispers to leave sweets to the sweet
Does nobody pay attention anymore? Anthony was the baby saved from the fire by Helen Lyle in the first Candyman. The scene where he visits his mother in her apartment says so. The actress who plays his mother in this is Vanessa Williams, the same actress who played the babys mother in the first movie, hence this is a sequel.
@@doomburger8433 I meant people in the comments who thought it was a remake, not the reactors. It's easy to Google this movie and find out that it's a sequel.
I was jarred by Burke’s motive the first time I watched too and the third act felt weird. But Burke was obsessed with Candyman and believed the community lost something because the candyman mythos had disappeared and felt that the legend gave the community a purpose and identity, and also resonated with black injustice that is at the heart of all the candymen. He wanted to make sure that Candyman was truly brought back into the consciousness of the community and made sure it happened by forcing Antony to become the next Candyman because they would believe it of him. Quite a clever direction when you think of it, but needed a bit more direct building up before the last 20 mins.
It'd make more sense if they eliminated all the "new candymen" and made burke, Jake, the little boy from 1... since he believed so much in candyman in the first movie it would make sense him working to bring him back/keep the legend going.. and hed of been aware who Anthony really was
I saw the trailer for this movie it looked cool Then I saw the movie In my opinion It was racist Prejudiced And very insulting to the original They changed the core story I DiD not like this movie It made me angry The only good thing was the shadow puppets, should have made a movie around that The original may have been about race But the difference is, the original was good. 👾👾👾👾
I actually really enjoyed this, as I did the previous movies. I think the issue with Burke, is that he wasn't developed enough. As Anne-Marie said, he was (I believe) the one who broke the pact to never say Candyman's name. I think, or at least this is my interpretation, that he had been trying to bring back Candyman for a long time, hence all of the 'sort of' Candyman (men?) since the time of the first movie. He saw Candyman as the bogeyman who could help the people of Cabrini take back their neighborhood. He was a nightmare thing, but he also helped to protect the neighborhood from outsiders. So he seeded stories about him, trying to get people to start talking about the real Candyman. When he finally latched onto Anthony, and realized who he was, the one that the Candyman had chosen to be his, he did everything he could to turn him into what he thought the Candyman was trying to turn him into, another (possibly?) living version of himself. But the issue is that they didn't seed enough of this throughout the movie, so it ends up feeling really disjointed and rushed at the end. But in the end, he did succeed, I think, because it's not Anthony Brianna sees at the last, it's Robitaille.

It's not a perfect movie, but I liked it when I saw it in theaters. And I still do today. I like it as much as the original. I'm probably gonna get some hate for saying that. The point is, *I* was entertained.
I actually really appreciated this movie. Just curious, you two know that Cabrini Green was a real housing project? Also, once I heard his name was Anthony McCoy, I knew.
This reboot sequel was actually pretty good especially compared to the awful sequels it originally got. It was a good 8/10 for me. I could’ve used some more gore and the candyman in particular was pretty boring like interesting idea of having black men who suffered tragic deaths becoming new candymen but Tony Todd will always be a legend and the best version of the character.
i cannot look at anthony at the end because it triggers trypophobia real bad. i think candyman made anthony a new candyman because he couldnt have him as a baby... or something idk
My biggest issue with the Carrie remake was the prom scene. The original Carrie just snapped. There was no humanity left in her; nothing in her expression other than pure blind rage. The remake Carrie came off as more deliberate with her devilish grin. It just did not work for me.
I hope Mrs Movies calls this movie out for the faux-deep artsy bullshit that it is lol. The 1992 film is not only far superior as a horror film, it does a much better job communicating a bunch of characters to the audience while also showcasing a core theme of “betrayal.”
Just my opinion here but Jordan Peele trying to turn Candyman into some kind of thought piece on racism or society just made the movie so convoluted and disjointed. Sometimes a horror movie should be just a horror movie. And I'm sorry but every kill happening off screen made Candyman's presence unnecessary.
@@mercedesdrake9113except it was very well done and humanized every single character in the film. The original has a core theme of betrayal throughout. This hyper focused on race in a way that doesn’t feel true to the Candyman legend at all. It’s similar to Black Christmas 1974 being a feminist horror movie and then there’s the 2019 movie that is third wave feminism poorly written bullcrap with bad intentions from the director intentionally trying to turn the general concept of masculinity into something that lacks meaning and virtue.

people change story about candyman why his form changed but the original was still in there beein there nightmare
Because there are different variations of the story , sorta like Bloody Mary it’s all urban legend so throughout the years the story has changed
Cabrini green housing projects were in Chicago. They were torn down in 2018.
You should have continued with the end credits
The puppetry tells the story of each of the Candymen

It's 5 times to summon Candy man
It def used to be say his name 3 times but they switched it to 5 for sum reason

And very insulting to the original
