Nia DaCosta‘s (Little Woods) gets behind the camera for the new incarnation of Candyman, a “spiritual sequel” to the original classic from 1992 produced by Jordan Peele that returns to the now-gentrified Chicago neighborhood where the legend began.
While the film doesn’t slash up theaters until this fall, DaCosta just shared a riveting short film that uses paper puppets to retell the origins of Candyman and how it juxtaposes with modern events. The best horror utilizes social commentary and Candyman looks more relevant than ever before.
Say his name in theaters on September 25, 2020.
Here’s the short and what DaCosta had to say about it:
CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been. pic.twitter.com/MEwwr8umdI
