An hour in and this is pretty crap. Enough so that I'm willing to come here and make a topic about it.

Really sucks cause the original Candyman is pretty good, but not great. There's enough there to actually make a great remake of by changing a few things. They had a whole gothic tone with a nice haunting theme. All that's gone here and hasn't been replace by anything good. Feels like everything is worse.

I thought it was alright if a bit heavyhanded

This is where I landed. I also haven't seen the original in long enough I basically don't remember it so I don't have that to compare it to.

It was bad. Original is great, go back and watch that I suppose.

The symbolism in the story was so heavy handed it might as well have been 1h 31m of police getting punched in the face.

Yeah. It was super on-the-nose.

Shame, because the reviews made me think itd be a rare, good horror movie, but there was not much to it beyond the in-your-face symbolism.

I thought it was alright, but I'm also someone who didn't think that the original was good.

...I preferred Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh, which I understand is an unpopular opinion.
