However, some of the haters were not having it, as they went onto Twitter to highlight her with unwarranted criticism. A user (@__RiseAgain__) tweeted how she had “directed only one feature before” which happened to be the 2021 horror film, Candyman but that was also a flop.

It was the failed retelling of Candyman.
