CANDYMAN

A sequel to the original, this quasi-reboot stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Anthony McCoy, an up-and-coming artist in the Chicago area, who becomes fixated on the Candyman myth. Yahya is passable as the main star, but the film only works when Candyman is lurking and slicing and dicing his victims. Otherwise, this is just another "woke" piece from Jordan Peele, who IMO, hasn't done much since GET OUT. This film had much promise going in to it, but didn't deliver with the finished product. 5/10
