A few hours ago, I watched the horror film Candyman...an update on the 1992 original and a directorial piece by rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta (who helmed 2018's Little Woods and will direct the 2022 Captain Marvel sequel, The Marvels).
Candyman was not only a horror movie, but DaCosta's interesting take on police brutality, urban gentrification and the yearning of aspiring (and struggling) artists to find motivation for their next showpiece.
I never saw the 1992 original film, but I'm familiar enough with it to know that that was a nice callback at the ending of the newest cinematic iteration of Candyman. SPOILER ALERT: Daniel Robitaille makes a guest appearance. That is all.
