See y’all in the next 2-3 - Netflix has called me.

I give it two thumbs up.

Candyman Star Explains Why It Needs To Be Seen In Theaters

"It’s no secret that 2020 and 2021 haven’t been the best years for the film industry, and the pandemic seems to keep throwing curve balls at a lot of creative projects that are either in the works or have completed filming. While all the streaming services are seeing an exciting number of films and series hitting their platforms, theaters (the ones that have been able to remain open) are only seeing a few bones thrown their way. Some films, though, just hit better in an atmosphere only a theater can provide. Candyman, according to star Coleman Domingo, is one of these films that needs to be seen in theaters, surrounded by other people reacting to what you’re seeing.

A lot of horror fans feel that half the fun of a new horror flick is the reactions it gets. Candyman star Coleman Domingo seems to think along the same lines, as he says Candyman needs to be watched in a movie theater. The Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom actor told ET Canada in an interview that although it’s tough for the people who have worked on a film to keep seeing it pushed back, he’s glad Candyman has delayed in order to get it’s time at the theaters, because it needs to be seen on the big screen. Here it is in Domingo’s own words:

It does need to be on a big screen, I believe that. Nia DaCosta directed something that is really epic and it’s really visually stunning. And I think you need to be in an audience and be shocked and at the same time. And laugh at the same time, and go ‘oh’ at the same time.

The jump scares, tight grips and startled screams of strangers in the dark all add (some may say a necessary) terror to a horror film. Don’t get me wrong, there absolutely is a special kind of terror reserved for watching a scary movie on the couch at home, alone. But being surrounded by similarly horrified people in a dark room while the horrific scene plays out in front of you and blown up on a massive screen is a whole different, epic experience.


Some films are just made for that experience, and going by what Coleman Domingo says, Candyman director Nia DaCosta, who is also directing Captain Marvel 2, has created something that is worthy of that big screen viewing.

Of course, all Coleman Domingo is really doing here is hyping us up for the release of Candyman, which has been delayed a few times already. Currently, the long-time-coming “sequel” to the classic 1992 Candyman is set to hit theaters in August 27. Hopefully there are no more delays for this apparently epic horror film worthy of the big screen, even if we have to view it through our fingers with our hands covering our eyes."
Unless I am fully vaccinated and so are 99% of the rest of the country I'm gonna have to catch this flick from the comfort of my own home.

Yea it is coming out regardless this year either stream or box office. I was able to view some of the movie last year and I will say this, the themes and plots sum up last year.

Make sure you watch the right movie, wouldn’t want anything to happen to you catching the wrong version of the flick that you watch from the comforts of your own home. Nothing like wasted time thinking you’re watching what you perceive to be a movie and finding out a whole day later that it’s not what it seems and you have 99% watched the wrong shyt. Just saying.

It was a good movie, I must say. I like the unpredictability of it all and the major plot twists. I thought the red necks were the culprits but nothing is what it seems.

Good thing I wasn’t tricked into seeing the wrong movie. That would have been a downer.

Amazing how Netflix can’t get their American branded original “horror” to be decent on a consistent basis but when it comes to their foreign horror films- I have yet to see them make a bad one; all of their foreign horror offerings have at least been a 7-8/10 or above imo

That is true. Almost all of the domestic horror output from Netflix is mediocre as hell but the foreign stuff be hitting.
