Jordan Peele puts a bloody new spin on a Nineties horror classic with the new trailer for Candyman. See it here
The new, directed by Nia DaCosta, picks up nearly 30 years after the original 1992 movie: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays Anthony McCoy, the infant character in the original film who was kidnapped by the hook-handed Candyman. In the reboot, McCoy returns to his old neighborhood, stirring up the spirit of the slasher.
The trailer also makes clever use of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name,” as a string of future victims make the ill-advised decision to recite Candyman’s name in the mirror, resulting first in the appearances of bees and then a gruesome death. Although unseen in the trailer, Tony Todd reprises the role of the Candyman.
“For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror.
“With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman.
