US was very polarised and a bit unconventional to some but Candyman look like a more standard horror-thriller flick.  

From what i read, this will be equally polarised.

 

Maybe not by critics which seems to like based on twitter reactions and Letterboxd reviews. But the movie apparently is very ambitious, touch in very deep themes in subversive ways, and can make some people very angry about the way it handled social problems.

 

Also i saw many people saying is not a scary movie, more a creepy one but interested in deeper things.

Anyone that has a problem with its 'social problems' clearly is not a true fan of the original lol.

Right? Still i wouldn't be shocked at all.

 

We have "nerds" that hate diversity even if HQ's are extremelly progressives since forever, which sounds absurd but still it happens.

This movie is gonna be 1,20h without credits, really dissapointing honestly. just like escape room 2 which seemes very short

 

Pacing is really great, so it's not too much of an issue. Though I do think the second and third acts could have used another 15 minutes.

There’s literally hundreds of great horror films that are 90 minutes including credits (the original Halloween is also 91 minutes), if the story only needs 80-90 minutes and is told well, it shouldn’t matter. Also, Escape Room 2 was crap, an extra 10-15 minutes wouldn’t have saved it.

17 fresh, 1 rotten.

 

Even the rotten one says it’s still worth seeing lol (it’s a 2.5/4). 
 

No RT score yet. 

Now 33 reviews, 1 rotten

 

Around 97%, but the site is still bugged. I suspect average will be + 8.0 based on this 33 reviews.

 

75 on metacritic based on 26 reviews, great

Yeah i remember the rumours that test screening for Candyman was bad lol.

 

 

 

Now i'm curious for Malignant. This one also have terrible test screenings but James Wan also told is a very different movie than the typical horror he is known for. Let's see if it will be another case of a decent movie that people on test screenings dislike because it's different.

Could be a case of rumors or that James Wan fixed the movie.
