UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
个人评分5分（主观影评、不喜勿喷）
精致的室内装饰但没好好地利用这些空间优势，整体给我的感觉就是有足够的资金，但导演水平有限。
D+ / 太急切地想要靠近乔丹·皮尔式的黑人政治隐喻恐怖类型片，但对于剧本的创意还欠打磨，反倒是隐喻过于急切，四人中亚裔感觉到危险率先跑掉的情节本身就是没有什么逻辑的生硬隐喻，更何况本来就是老版糖果人的续作。镜子的运用、摄像机视点的选择有有意思的地方，但太少。
Childish horror movie
#22#03中国人不骗中国人，Candyman不杀Blackman。有此大将，三十年了居然还没统一亚美利加，连芝加哥一个拆迁弄堂都整不明白。想象力还是保守了
今天老婆吓儿子说糖果人的故事 我还不知道 只好晚上来补课。 拍的完全不好。故事逻辑都不恰 不好看。
少了原版的一些特点，但也增加了一些之前原版没有的
欲言又止的表达，说了又好像没说，文艺片，激情戏倒是不错
尽管只是监制，但还是很皮尔的电影；导演将故事和种族话题融入的蛮不错的，就是太直白了，恨不得一句话重复5遍；色彩、动画都很出彩；糖果人只是个种族隔阂的标志，然后咋办呢导演也没说，反而把火越烧越旺。。。
秉持一贯“往惊悚/恐怖片皮里塞社会族群片”的套路，黑人艺术工作者夫妇无意中触碰到世代集体创伤记忆加口口相传复仇故事交织成的幽灵，男人因艺术沉浸、前辈强行灌顶和身世命定而成为新一任幽灵，女人则在警察滥暴夺爱后协助男人完成最后转化并发出宣言。皮尔讽刺黑人文艺工作者居于承载着血泪史的土地、不自觉成为士绅化的受益者而漠视在地生命史（蜕变前的主角黑人夫妇），沉迷于按白人意志量产艺术装置和表演而不去亲身体验拥抱艺术宣言背后的苦痛（高高在上的纽约黑人女策展人），而张扬哪怕以和肉身溃烂为代价也要拥抱血腥与武力。从Get Out的智慧反击逃离宰制，到Us的集体身份翻转和暴力，再到糖人的有意识拥抱暗黑史和延续造神，事实上可视为对宣扬暴力同态复仇的三部曲。全片最精彩桥段：白人作大死、黑人逃过一劫、亚裔跑路！
6分。好傻的片子，太多乱七八糟BLM的内容了，把一部恐怖片变成了政治隐喻片，偏偏还拍得好差劲。所以说美国黑人是要有多绝望才幻想出这么个杀人魔来保护自己啊？？？
就⋯shallow and boring⋯
所以是借都市传说来过于“直白并单纯”地控诉种族歧视……看得那叫一个尴尬……
起码的故事逻辑都没理清楚，就一门心思光顾着卖弄社会隐喻，我觉得这是无能的表现。
作为恐怖片，它是失败的，不管从什么角度来看，都不合格。但是作为一部可以过分解读的种族政治片来说，它可能是成功的。对于自己来说，没有观看1992年那部糖果人，在没有故事基础的情况下观看本片，效果是极差的，也奈何如此没有过度解读隐喻元素的能力。所以，总的来说就是，等了很久的片，满怀期待，结果大失所望，低分也在所难免。
拍的真的好烂，还不如老版的故事有趣......强行了一波种族压迫但又没讲明白，我属实不能理解了。
糖果人2021重启版，剧情和老版的第一部有一点点关联。有涉及种族歧视的内容，但总体上比较无聊。全片最精彩的地方大概就是最后几秒，老版的糖果人回归。男主变身糖果人的部分有些重口，手臂逐渐腐烂，最后变成蜂窝，密恐都犯了
“请在1秒内找到图中的糖果人。”
Who can take the sunrise,Sprinkle it with dew?
艺术的呈现，现实的影射，情绪的宣泄…没有比恐怖片更好的载体了。影片有多暴戾，现实恰恰多无力，看影评里说到影院中“Candyman”的呼喊声此起彼伏，效果堪比喜剧便可见一斑。
