I’d have preferred a remake. It seems to be taking the Halloween route which I guess is ok even though I thought Halloween 2018 was overrated and not nearly as good as some people made it out to be.

The original is one of my favourite horror movies. I don't really see how the reboot could improve on it.

Unless you've watched the movie you have no way of knowing whether it's a remake or not.

The original had the scariest public washroom in movie history perhaps.

It was ok. Very beautiful visually. Not very scary though. But looked very pretty and the people in it were easy on the eyes and mostly likeable so it was an overall pleasant experience. Cool way to shoot some of the murder scenes too.

CANDYMAN PART 1 5/10 CANDYMAN PART 2: FAREWELL TO THE FLESH 4/10 CANDYMAN PART 3: DAY OF THE DEAD 3/10 Why is CANDYMAN PART 4 (yes, that's essentially the real title) the best of the franchise? Well, PART 1 relied too much on jump scares. PART 2 spent most of the running time recycling its predecessor's elements. PART 3 was another rehash and, to top it all, it had bad performances. This new installment tries new things by expanding the lore and it executes them with well-crafted set pieces. Unfortunately, it doesn't reach its full potential. You see, the original combined a slasher flick plot with a gothic romance atmosphere. In fact, when the title character's tragic origin is told (as an urban legend), the scene contains the visual elements of a happy dream. Not to mention that listening to what happened is much more powerful than showing it... so naturally, the first two sequels made the super duper smart decision of providing a flashback. Anyway, the social commentary was used as a companion to a story where the emotions kept rising and rising, culminating in an operatic finale. Here, it always feels like the individuals who appear on the screen are secondary to the script's exploration of racial issues in Chicago (which is even more relevant today than it was in 1992), especially during the ending. In fact, an entire scene is dedicated to a group of high school students trying to summon the evil spirit... and they're never referenced again! Usually, when a horror movie shows a death at that point in the story, it then shows the heroes reacting to the news, so they can reflect on the situation as a whole. Also, one of those girls might've survived, so I was interested to see how she was going to explain what happened. Because the movie chose this approach, the characters aren't very compelling... whether they were meant to be or not. 6/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog. |

5/10. It looks good and some of the acting is pretty decent. But it's just not that scary or even that gory really.
