CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on August 26th, 2021, reviewing the new film “Candyman” – co-written by Jordan Peele (“Get Out”) – In theaters on August 27th, 2021.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is Anthony, an artist living in a loft that exists on the old land of Cabrini-Green – an infamous Chicago housing project and where Candyman was born – now torn down and completely gentrified. He becomes obsessed with the legend, which is about conjuring the hooked-armed killer by saying his name five times in a mirror. As Anthony gets in deeper, secrets from his life start to intertwine with the Candyman, and the horror that had laid dormant is now revived.
