The urban legend of the Candyman goes, if you say his name five times in the mirror, he’ll appear in your reflection and kill you. Jordan Peele puts that legend to the test in this latest horror film.
Peele co-wrote “Candyman” as directed by Nia DaCosta (“Little Woods”) about the cult classic with a modern twist. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Teyonah Parris star in the movie that’s opening in theaters on June 12 from Universal Pictures and MGM.
“I am the writing on the wall, the sweet smell of blood,” a deep, dark, demonic voice spoken by the Candyman says in the trailer. “Be my victim.”

Peele frames the story of the supernatural killer with a hook for a hand named Candyman as a demon that has haunted Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood for decades.
