"I am the writing on the wall, the whisper in the classroom. Without these things, I am nothing. So now, I must shed innocent blood. Come with me."

(I am the writing on the wall, whispering in the classroom, without these, I am nothing. So now, I must sacrifice innocent blood. Come with me.)

--1992 "Candyman"

Candyman, Tiantian’s name is like the villain in a fairy tale, or Pennywise, the clown who likes to capture children... Well, I admit that I haven’t heard of this character before. No wonder he will be on 29 Years later, he appeared on the big screen again and waved the iron hook that was never merciful again—Candyman is not allowed to be forgotten and questioned.

He will show up in the mirror and cut your hips to your throat with a hook...

The "Candyman" series is adapted from the British writer Cliff Barker's novel The Forbidden, and the restarted work Candyman continues the plot of "Candyman" in 1992. It is also the fourth series after Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and Candyman: Day of the Dead. Works.

For the residents of Chicago’s Cabernet Green public housing community, the legend of "Candyman" has always been a nightmare that cannot be mentioned at will: It is said that as long as you call the name "him" to the mirror five times in a row, you will be dressed in a coat and worn with your right hand. Tiegou's cold-blooded killer took his life...

The old communities in the past have been completely renewed. Artist Anthony McEy (played by Yahya Abdumartin II) and his girlfriend Brianna (played by Tina Peris), who is an art gallery manager, move into an apartment in the Cabo Neglin community to start a new life. At this time, Anthony, who was caught in a creative dilemma, just learned the local horror rumors "Candyman" from his girlfriend's brother Troy (Nathan Stewart Jarrett). Therefore, he was inspired by the endless source of inspiration, closed himself, and could not stop like a demon. With the brush, Candyman, who was called again, also appeared again to kill...

Fear? Don't underestimate me, I'm just lost!

When I walked out of the theater, the whole person seemed to be sucked away in a state of loss, as long as I stopped the action at hand, I would enter the freeze frame. Is "Candyman" really such an insatiable soul? Or is it more bloody and violent than "Saw"? No, instead of feeling scared, it's more anxiety and restlessness.

At the beginning, I photographed the high-rise buildings from a perspective close to the ground, just like the scenery trapped in a mirror. The flapping of the wings of a swarm of bees, the wicked Candyman in the mirror (I live alone!), challenging the limits of intensive phobia, and the festering wound inspired by The Fly that I can’t bear to see... I said, I was stung by a bee. Is it reasonable to just leave it like this? Want the Taiwanese to scream and send to the emergency room! Even if the medical expenses in the United States are as high as the sky-high price, a small swelling bag is so bad that the whole arm does not see a doctor, Anthony, you can really bear it!

Sweet but poisonous bee, clear but unreal mirror

The visual impact of "Candyman" far exceeded expectations, especially the art of "Paper Shadow Play" was chosen in the film to add a sense of mystery and involuntary indignation to the legend of unknown authenticity. This work also makes more use of the iconic elements of "mirror" and "bee".

The mirror world always gives people the feeling that it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the truth and can reflect the truth. It is not normal to see a bee crawling on the other end of the mirror through a transparent window. I clearly saw Candyman in the mirror behind him, but I couldn't really see him when I looked back. The helplessness and fear of being slaughtered began to erode from the soul, and finally the body tore. Even if I could refrain from the temptation to say "Candyman" to the mirror five times after I walked out of the theater, I might have been hinted by the movie and wanted to avoid all the bright sides that can reflect the image... God knows how courage I had to go in that day. The bathroom takes a shower.

Pursuing the previous work, Candyman represents the past, present and future

"Candyman" has new adaptations in the plot and setting, and it’s okay to let people who are not familiar with or not know the previous work to watch it. However, two days after watching the movie, I just found out the me who finished the first three works— —The source of the film with only English subtitles is absolutely life-threatening — I can say bluntly that although "Candyman" is newly edited, it does not forget the original. After watching the series, you can understand more of the meaning and have fun. For example, the evolution of Candyman's role, the importance of the Cabernet Green public community, and the classic quotes and soundtracks inherited to this day.
