Candyman

On a real note, Tony Todd is fantastic as Candyman. I cannot imagine better casting for the role. This movie has much more thematic depth than I was led to believe. It’s a great entertaining horror film in its own right but every creative choice is calculated and deliberate. An exploration of trauma, race, white fragility and entitlement through the lens of urban myth and folklore. I was expecting another slasher horror but it’s definitely more than that.
