Wissenswertes
Production was brought back to the Cabrini Green neighborhood where Candymans Fluch (1992) was filmed. Though the high-rise buildings have long been demolished, the Rowhouses still exist.

Patzer
Haley 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.

Zitate
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.

Crazy Credits

4/10

Doesn't want to entertain, just wants to ram a message down your throat

I saw the original 'Candyman' film back when I was very young. I remember being completely bored by it. It wasn't scary then, and it certainly isn't scary now. A good test would be to go to the mirror after seeing this and say "Candyman" five times over. If it's easy to do then the movie has not done its job.

It felt like this version of 'Candyman' was so intent on giving a political message that it forgot to be an enjoyable film along the way. It's ridiculously preachy and self-righteous. It's not ever what I want out of a horror movie (or any film for that matter).

The characters are extremely bland, the scares are more or less non-existent, the concept is stupid and the film refuses to get off its high-horse. There are far better ways to spend your time and money than this film. Not recommended. 4/10.
