Once again simply titled Candyman, it’s being described as a spiritual sequel to the original franchise, which produced three films during the ’90s.
Those Candymans Tony Todd as the title character, a ghost with a nasty hook who is summoned by those who say his name five times while looking into a mirror.
With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo; HBO’s Euphoria, Assassination Nation) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman.
