That's what happens in Candyman, which presents a dark imagining of something I would expect out of the Peele playbook before crushing me with the sort of ballpeen hammer simplicity that makes the whole affair a bigger waste of time. When I actually invest myself and you blow it up worse than a bridge placed over a river named Kwai, hey! Go fuck yourself! You've done to me what J&J did to Daenerys Targaryfans. You've baited me and switched it all off. All of it. You've presented promise and offered offal in its place. And you KNOW you did it because that much of a gorefest and that much of a tacked-on ending is too insulting to be missed on a rewrite. The difference between this movie and You Know What You Did Last Summer is in the knowing of the lane in which to stay. Btw this is so much better and more interesting because now I can see where you're coming from even though we disagree. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I do try to keep things short in general because it allows for discussion, even on other lists. I usually only do long write-ups for #1s and 2s except for some comedy on like a last placer. Like, Sci Fi really benefited from leaving stuff in the tank for discussion. I just don't like initiating it on this one because of the genre and my lack of horror passion. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
