Nia DaCosta rebootsCandymanas a preachy, arthouse sermon on racial injustice and police brutality. The film is shot in an interesting way, but fails dramatically at its core purpose.Candymanoffers zero scares and drags considerably in its ninety minutes runtime. The plot pays tribute to the 1992 original without capturing any of its thrills. The stylistic approach can be appreciated, but not at the expense of terror. A frightless horror film is not worth seeing regardless of its edifying agenda....

Many gamers thinkTwisted Metal, a Peacock TV series, accomplishes a lot of things well,despite the show’s mixed reviews. AdaptingTwisted Metalhas its unique set of challenges because the video game is most known for its demolition derby action rather than its plot.
