[terry78]

It has been confirmed that yahya's character is the baby from the original Candman film.

Somebody said that in an article?

It was confirmed a few places. I saw something about it too. He is the young child Virginia Madsen's character sacrificed to save.

Fat lot of good that did.

I looked on IMDB and his characters last name matches Vanessa Williams character from the original.

If i recall from the first one wasnt candyman feeding him his blood after he kidnapped him. That would explain the possession.

This is not a remake due to the title, it's a sequel to the 1992 horror classic.

This is an annoying trend of naming sequels after the original with The Thing 2011 and Halloween 2018 mistakening something for a remake when it's not.

Give it a subtitle like Candyman: 28 years later.

Visually this looks slick, it has an intriguing concept similar to Freddy's Revenge or New Nightmare that I actually don't mind. This was a little bit of a surprise for me personally.

And it's not like the Candyman sequels were even that good to begin with as the sequels were lame to be honest. So there is a lot of leeway left here and room for improvement. This looked decent enough to give it a shot at the very least. Still don't know how Tony Todd is going to play a part in this though. I hope he is using this new guy to get back into the world and is possessing him similar to Freddy in NOES 2 and the new Candyman sees Tony in the mirror at first until he begins to see himself in the mirror, and that is the moment he realizes he has lost control.

I like that this is doing something different with the material and not a rehash of stuff from the other films we saw before and this is a sequel that ignores the lame Candyman sequels and be a followup to the original modern horror classic.

Dug out my 30+ year old copy of In The Flesh to reread The Forbidden in preparation for the new movie. Clive Barker really hit his creative peak in the 80s. So ****ing good.

I remember a lot of things.

I'm stocked. Got my tickets!

Wait. Sorry, I'm from an alternate 2020. Already saw Quiet Place Part II, Mulan, F9, No Time to Die and Black Widow.

Artemis Fowl is opening next weekend too. Heard you guys get that streamed right to your homes! Positive trade off?

It will be timely

 

[Closerframe]

The original was already a timely story, but I'm glad to see they're going even deeper into the atrocities against black people over the centuries.

 

[Sawyer]

Holy ****.

 

[DeadStroke]

Holy ****.

That was so powerful that I truly wish the movie itself can live up to it.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

That really was damn good.

That's some beautiful art..

but damn, just adding fuel to the fire of an already divided nation, driven apart by an agenda heavily steeped to corrupt to be self serving.

you walk out and see the majority of towns and communities and you realize they are no where near to being the cesspit the media want you to think we live in.

however, the candyman story, it makes ya think about he past and reminds you to keep on doing the right thing, so it never happens again, is good none the less.

I would recommend not seeing this movie, as it clearly is not something you will be able to grasp.

Considering his previous posts, especially his alternate movie pitch in the Dark Fate thread about making Sarah Connor a crazy nutjob, I’m not really surprised.

Ok, let's break this down... I don't like my movies too political... which this movie, with the timing will seem. some will walk away loving it, praising it, some will walk away not liking it and some with tear it apart and say it's trying to be woke... which isn't fair.

I don't believe it's trying to be woke, but I do know it will be divisive... I don't buy into the media's attempt to divide us all and make out the world is the way it is right now... the interview rounds are going to be just that.. sure, a timely conversation, but the true reality, out there in communities, we are diverse, we are tolerant and rich in cultures... bad things happen but we are better than that.

So yeah, sithborg has always been argumentative with me, that's fine, it's generally been respectful and agree to disagree.. but you, to jump in and agree purely for the fact I would have preferred Sarah Connor to exhibit way more ptsd from the events of T2 and the opening of Dark Fate, which the studio alluded too but played it way too safe? Yeah... cheap shot wiseguy487.
