Ladies and gentlemen as any horror fans that's even close to being worth their salt will tell a true horror icon never stays down for very long and with there being alot of horror remakes and horror sequels coming out seemingly faster and quicker then ever. You just know that it was about time that they brought back the Candyman film franchise and so join me as i review the film that's brought back or even resurrected the long dormant Candyman film franchise with the film in question being called simply just "Candyman" enjoy.
Now then the plot of this film is struggling visual artist Anthony McCoy gets artists block so he becomes inspired by the legend of Candyman and then kills start happening and it's up to Anthony to figure out who or even what is behind these most recent killings before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I personally thought or even felt about the plot of this film film in all honesty I thought or even felt that the plot of this film was perhaps the weakest aspect of this film since the plot of this film is really freaking weak in my opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this very film is Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Anthony ????? and Wandavision star Teyonah Parris as Brianna Cartwright. Also starring in this very film are or even is Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Troy Cartwright , Colman Domingo as William Burke , Kyle Kaminsky as Grady Greenberg , Vanessa Williams as ??????????????? , Rebecca Spence as Finley Stephens , Michael Hargrove as Sherman Fields and Tony Todd as ?????????????????????????.
Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film was in all honesty rather freaking good in my opinion anyways / at least. This is because in my opinion anyways / at least alot of the actors and actresses that are starring in this very film are yes sir indeed sir some really good actors and actresses and so then it does only make sense that those exact same actors and actresses that are appearing in or even starting in this film would indeed turn in some really freaking good performances when it comes to the actual acting that's featured / presented to us in this very film in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then as alot of might know this film was co-written and co-produced by Jordan Peele and yeah if you've seen literally any of his other horror films / horror movie and then you'll know exactly what to expect from this film. Since because yeah those exact same things are present in this film and while I can see alot of people being put of by these or even those things I personally found those exact same things to be rather freaking enjoyable in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then incase you are wondering yes we do indeed get to find out if this film is a either a sequel or reboot or a remake or whatever else that you could possibly or even can possibly even come up with. However tho since the answer to that question is a spoiler and this review of the film in question is a spoiler free review however I will indeed go onto say that there is a reason that I edited some of the cast list when it comes to who two of the actors that are appearing / starring in this film and who those exact same actors and actresses are playing and I do also think that there might possibly be alot of fans of the Candyman film franchise who might possibly indeed be happy with the answer in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very fully admit that i've personally never even seen a single film that's apart of or even in this particular / very film franchise. However I have seen all of the kill counts thanks to the Youtube channel Dead Meat and as such I can say that this film isn't as gothic as the first film was and as such I seems like it would be more at home with one of the sequels / later sequels which is something that I personally didn't like since the first film looked stunning with how gothic it was and so in my opinion anyways / at least it would have helped this film out alot if this film was more gothic in tone and in nature just like the very first film was in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then without giving anything I will say that the song that they use to open up this film with is the exact same song that I personally would've chosen to open up this film with and when this song started playing I in all honesty started laughing. Simply because this song was the perfect song to use to open up this film and while it's not really a spoiler what the song is i'm openly choosing not to mention the name of the song because the song in question is just such a perfect song to use to open this film with in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this film is exactly one hour and twenty five minuets and fifty two seconds long and if i'm being well and truly and very freaking honest here people this film could and more importantly should have been alot more longer then / than it actually was. This is simply because this film has alot of characters to introduce and it simply cannot do that in it's current one hour and twenty five minuets and fifty seconds running time since all of the characters just aren't given enough time to be fully established and so all of this films characters just sort of merge into character because of the fact that we aren't really given that good of a sense of who these characters are and what these characters personality traits and faults are all of which would have made all of this films characters much more better and much more well rounded in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this film is a slasher film after all that means that I have to talk about the actual kills that are featured in this very / actual / particular film / movie and in my honest opinion anyways / at least the actual kills that are featured / resented to us in this very / actual / particular film are indeed yes sir indeed the best parts of this film. This is simply because of how gory the kills in this very film well and truly are and it also does indeed help that alot of or even all of the kills that are in this film are also fairly freaking creative in my opinion anyways / at least/
Overall I can very easily see why this film is currently making alot of money at the box office since this film does indeed have alot of star power both infront of and behind of the camera but having alot of star power both infront of and behind of the camera doesn't always make for a good film and that's case / issue for / of in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this film gets a grand total of score of a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally used in this very review well then I boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Halloween fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images that are actually from this film and that that I personally / actually used in this very review being Google Images this is simply because Google Images actually has alot of images from this film and plus alot of / nearly all of the images that are from this film and that are currently up on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high definition and as always we end this review as we always do which is with one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some very unpleasant dreams indeed.
