Candyman - 2021 - 6/10

Neither sequel nor remake, but closer to message film.
Artist Anthony, casting about for another inspiration, hears the story, rumor, legend of Candyman.
The subsequent gallery exhibition proves a hit with wine n cheese gawkers and sarcastic critics.
As Anthony delves into the myth, darkness gathers.
Film checklists neighborhood gentrification, racial oppression, the inescapability of destiny.
Despite its name and the shadow of its predecessor, not a fun horror film.
