Intelligent, well made film

I went and saw Candyman (2021) today. I thought it was an intelligent, socially conscious horror film that I enjoyed. I thought Nia DaCosta did a very good job directing the film, building on the legacy of the original Candyman and putting her own spin on it. The story was told in a smart and satisfying way. I felt the cast, especially Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Colman Domingo, gave effective and engaging performance For me, this is the 5th best film of the year so far. Highly recommended. My rating is a 9/10.

It's ok but the '92 film is better.

The random bunch of teens doing a summoning and getting subsequently butchered was exactly that: random

I give it a 1/10. Would be zero except for the beginning with the upside down buildings floating in the fog. All downhill from there.
