Candyman Trailer Breakdown: 5 Ups & 3 Downs

Up - Sequel, NOT Remake

Candyman Trailer

In this day and age, everything is getting remade. From live-action bastardisations of Disney animated classics to video games of yesteryear. While, admittedly, not all are bad, when it comes to movies, there are more floppies than flyers.

It was a great relief to see, and by far the biggest up from this trailer is that it highly eludes that this is a sequel and not a remake.

Knowing that this is a continuation of the original Candyman story but under the very capable hands of Jordan Peele rather than a total reboot makes this movie all the more appealing.
