Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Candyman' (2021)
It would be impossible to talk about this movie without mentioning the political undertone. I mean, you basically can't even talk about the original Candyman (1992) without mentioning the political undertones. The first was more about Redlining and the creation of the Projects, and the new one is more about gentrification and police brutality, but both stories were told with a purpose. The director and writer of both movies wanted to tell a story that highlights the systematic oppression of black people and how that's exploited by white people. The first one didn't pull any punches and neither did the second. Frankly, it's a fantastically brilliant way to create a mythos. The urban legend of Candyman takes on a life of its own in the real lives and real struggles of black people.

The Junonia Shell. Top Story - March 2023.
“Coral, where are you going? I’ll tell Mom and Dad you left me alone!” shouted Lily as she watched her teenage sister walk away from where they were building sandcastles. “God, Lily, I’m just going to stretch my legs for a bit! I’ll be back before you know it”, Coral assured her nine-year-old sister. Coral had an obsession with seashells so their parents would bring her and Lily to the beach every Sunday evening. Leaving the sisters at the beach, they would spend their evening at their friend’s house not too far away from there. They would always be back for their daughters before nightfall. Coral was frustrated because most of the seashells she found today were broken. She kept walking, hoping to find more. She must have walked further than she had ever before because she reached the mouth of a cave. She turned around to see how far she had walked. Surprisingly, Lily was still visible. Coral was wondering how come she had never noticed this cave before. Curiosity got the better of her as she walked towards the cave entrance. As she was about to enter, she spotted something gleaming on the sand.
