American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！糖果人！我为什么还活着？
观看本片的最佳姿势是不要有任何恐怖的心理期待，要当作一部文艺片，而文艺片的三连问通常是：我是谁？我需要什么？值得我不顾一切代价吗？而三个问题又通常会直击身份政治，比如，我是什么样的种族，我的种族遭遇了什么磨难，我如何被牵连、如何被歧视？我可以自由追求我的爱情吗？社会对我有所善待吗？如果我认为社会对我的评价很不公平，反抗机制是健全的吗？如果不健全，我可以用私刑来行使我内心的正义吗？除了杀戮，我还可以有别的表达自我的方式吗？艺术可以拯救我？还是另一种话语宰制，其结果是艺术表达会被我的肤色所限制？结合都市传说、废墟探险、真假鬼故事、拥有一套金色倒钩的黑人死神等各种故事原型，其实本质上拍的还是身份政治，大致是黑人应该有自己的恐怖故事。用义很好，但真的对此类恐怖可以免疫，当作文艺片会比较不容易失望。
镜头色彩真不错，很带感，不过电影整体就一言难尽了emmm
思路还行，但呈现的差强人意，想表达的东西塞进这么一个恐怖片显得很笨重，这种笨重感越到最后越明显。
对92年非常忠实的翻拍了，连糖果人都是这个大哥来演的。Yahya身材太火辣...有点点50 Cents的痞劲，啧啧。结尾有点too on the nose...但只能这样了，女主叫Brianna代表了电影的社会意义。总体来说是黑人恐怖电影最重要的作品之一，白人世界对糖果人的错误解读及其更深层次的社会现象
糖果人是一个蜂巢，住着无数死去的冤魂。
剪纸与一副皮影戏的艺术感，是很棒的。至于故事，为什么要重启呢？没太大意义，娱乐娱乐得了！
好恶心的片子。又一出黑人朋友的“总有刁民想害朕”的苦痛哀怨，通过恐怖片的设定，来干不可言说的其他目的。乔丹皮尔该挨揍了，总是拿着自己的那点机灵来煽风点火，借着当前的政治局势为自己搂好处。一旦风向变了，挨打是必然的！
故弄玄虚，有些电影看完让人觉得看画展受益匪浅，这部看完让人觉得看画展的都是呆x
本身就是对恐怖类型片的gentrification。那么如今这个高级住客有多高级呢？——竟然出现了两次【戴着耳机不知道周遭发生了什么】的桥段。
要恐怖不恐怖，要深刻不深刻，一篓子导演的私货，看个寂寞。
怎么回事，恐怖片这么中间还要夹杂一段说教，然后又忽然开始乱杀起来，感觉像看了几部片子
亚裔拒绝作死跑了hhhhh都市传说成功套入社会议题的改编。恐影界把头满：I am the darkness. I am the night. I am Batman.
环球+米高梅两大公司联合出品，电影史上少有！如此看中的题材，还是种族歧视。糖果人是受压迫的黑人的缩影。
基本上是个爽片啦，但是顶着这么多限制塞文化细节进去，很强了！！电影放完之后还贴了官网链接，基本上是让糖在现代大复活了。谢谢你，执行力很强的乔丹皮尔！
candyman
喊五遍candy man，一个黑人来杀人。
艺术审美非常惊人的恐怖片，创作上延续乔丹·皮尔《我们》的思维，新导演在色彩运用和摄影构图方面让影片完全区别于系列前作以及传统的幽灵虐杀片，血浆不少，但是血腥场面却又处理得很克制，很喜欢厕所那场，放在今年都能说是名场面。
本片传承自92版Candyman，当初的Candyman是白人圣母，本片的candyman是圣母搭救的婴儿，长大成人，继承成为Candyman。
这个政治明喻和恐怖元素的结合不如Get Out来得自然通透，而且触发机制和误伤可能性无法调和。
