Shadow puppet teaser, a technique used for stories told in-character in the film
As one of those legacy sequels that uses the original title, I was expecting Candyman 2020 to be more fully standalone, using the original film’s events purely as the legend that inspires the new one, but it’s a more direct sequel in some ways.
While it focuses strongly on the bigotry highlighted in the original, and revisits other elements like the Philip Glass score and the title sequence taking a look at the city from an unfamiliar angle, it’s also different tonally (as well as from the previous sequels it ignores but doesn’t specifically erase) and that while the original was famously serious this has a lot more humour, being partially a snarky look at the art scene.
The DVD comes with some deleted scenes including an ending, and some shortish featurettes and a 20-minute special talking about Black horror films with creators and experts on the subject.
