I loved it when horror movies were much simpler, with less of the added elements which some horror movies have included in their storylines. I enjoyed the original Candyman movie before, where incidentally, the lead character was also black - and imposing, and scarred, and intimidating, and ultimately frightening - as any main horror movie character has to be!
Maybe because I wasn't paying too much attention to this latest incarnation of Candyman that I may have misconstrued that they added a racial element into it, making the latest Candyman an abused homeless black man who comes back to seek revenge.
Anyhow, bottom line is that the movie was not as scary as I expected it to be and I got lost in the main character slowly 'becoming' Candyman.
Or maybe I just want some cheap thrills in my horror movies.
