Britt Robertson also stars as Jenna, a runaway who suffers from misophonia (extreme sensitivity to sound), and Yul Vazquez plays a contract killer on the hunt for a priceless artifact.
Several stories from Clive Barker’s horror series have been adapted before, including the 1992 film Candyman and the 1995 adaptation of Lord of Illusions, which was written and directed by Barker himself. A new Candyman film, written and produced by modern horror master Jordan Peele, is also due to be released in 2021.
