The Candyman Reimagining Is Going To Be A Real Gore-Fest

Written by Nia DaCosta, Jordan Peele, and Win Rosenfeld, and referred to as a “reimagining” of the 1992 original, Candyman centers on conceptual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who begins to investigate the eponymous urban legend: the story that a person saying “Candyman” five times in a mirror will summon the killer. His research proves to figuratively very much open Pandora’s Box, however, and the consequences prove far direr than he could have ever predicted.
