'Candyman' director Nia DaCosta shares eerie puppet teaser tracing hook-handed killer's lore
Per a synopsis of the new film, the Candyman shares his story and other grisly ones with Anthony, who uses them as inspiration for his paintings. It’s this aspect of the film that the new teaser captures, using puppets to show Anthony at his easel, each portrait he makes corresponding to a story of horrific, racist injustice and violence.
The last vignette tells the story of the Candyman himself — a 19th century artist and the son of a wealthy black family, who falls in love with the daughter of a white landowner and ends up lynched by a mob that cuts his hand off, replaces it with a hook, then covers his body in honey so he’s stung to death by bees., at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs,” DaCosta wrote on Twitter to accompany the clip.
