Directed by Nia DaCosta and produced by Jordan Peele, “Candyman” has been well-received by critics and audiences with a B on CinemaScore going alongside an 85% critics score and 74% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film was produced on a reported $25 million budget.

Angelique Jackson When the first trailer debuted for “Candyman” — director Nia DaCosta and producer Jordan Peele’s “spiritual sequel” to the 1992 horror classic — there was a great deal of buzz about the use of a slowed-down remix of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” alongside the original movie’s haunting score.But upon further reflection — the needle drop was an early hint at the way DaCosta and Peele’s take would examine deeper social themes.

Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld and DaCosta, stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as artist Anthony McCoy, who draws inspiration from the remnants of Chicago’s now-gentrified Cabrini-Green neighborhood and subsequently gets sucked into the lore of the titular killer with a hook for a hand.
