Movies Like "Get Out": "Candyman" (2021)

It only makes sense that you follow up the original "Candyman" with its 2021 sequel, which Peele produced and cowrote with its director, Nia DaCosta, and Win Rosenfeld. In this film, an artist named Anthony (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) unwittingly unleashes Candyman again while researching the urban legend — only this time, the Cabrini-Green projects have been torn down and gentrified in present-day Chicago. Like "Get Out," one the major themes of "Candyman" is the violence inflicted upon Black bodies by white supremacy in its various forms. The film has a stellar cast that includes Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, and Colman Domingo. If you loved the first film, you're sure to enjoy this modern reimagining of the classic horror movie.
