Candyman

...samfundskritisk underholdning, der kan give stof til eftertanke.

Det er en legesyg og gyserglad film (...) som sprudler af kreativitet og glæde ved at skræmme sit publikum fra sans og samling.

...caters to fans of the original without sacrificing its own vision and story.

DaCosta pulls together a series of impressive set pieces...

Who can take a reboot, sprinkle it with something new, cover it with blood and bumblebees and a pointed social commentary or two? Candyman can...

DaCosta’s visual flair is apparent, from the way she details flesh turning to rotten honeycomb, to the visceral squelch of pressing open a wound.

This is horror with grandeur, a movie that pays homage to history and feels so of-the-moment as to seem fresh out of the lab.

...a slick, macabre and very sophisticated sequel-reboot [of] the Candyman myth.
