This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to discuss the 2021 horror film, Candyman. This is the spiritual successor to the original film of the same name from 1992. This new film picks up years later in Chicago once again. For decades, the housing projects of Chicago's Cabrini-Green were terrorized by a ghost story about a supernatural, hook-handed killer. In the present day, an artist begins to explore the macabre history of Candyman, not knowing it would unravel his sanity and unleash a terrifying wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.
