Candyman (2021)
Disappointing
As a child I watched the original film and was frighten to my core. As I got older, experiencing the sequels I have yet to have that feeling I had with the original. In saying that, I was very disappointed in this film especially with twist in Candyman's narrative and failure to build upon the character of the characters in that guy's life. The film should have been longer and should have worked a bit harder on the narrative, especially through transitions. The only good element was the physical evolution into Candyman. Meaning the bee sting, and the hand, arm, and face thing was disgusting in a good way. Anyway, I feel Jordan Peele underperformed. After he floored me with Get Out, I expected Candyman to have me pissing my pants. Us wasn't wow either. He set his own bar with Get Out. This movie really fell short. Also, I wasn't looking for propaganda. I was looking to be frighten and possibly temporarily traumatized.
