The Oscar-winning actress hosted a pre-screening cocktail hour, mingled with her guests, passed out Candyman t-shirts and sipped on specialty cocktails named Sweet Insanity and Legend Has It.

In director Nia DaCosta’s fresh take on the chilling urban legend, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his partner gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; ) move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.

With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini-Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman.

Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifying wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.
