" The follow up, to Candyman this time with him going to new Orelans. While not nearly as good as the first film, it’s still relatively decent. The film, non the less bombed at the box office, with critics feeling it was a step down, from the first movie. But still, Tony Todd was awesome as always as Candyman. There is also, the less than stellar sequel."

Flesh-less

“Really like the original 'Candyman', itself a well done adaptation of Clive Barker's excellent source material. Find it well-made and genuinely scary with great performances from Tony Todd (terrifying) and Virginia Madsen (in a difficult role) and a goosebump-inducing score from Phillip Glass. My only real problem with 'Candyman' has always been the for my tastes tacky ending, maybe a little bias as "open"/"it's not over yet" endings can not be my cup of tea.A type of ending that gave way for two follow-ups, of which 'Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh' is the first (the other being the straight to video 'Candyman Day of the Dead'). Sadly, for me and it seems many people, both are nowhere near as good with almost all the components executed the complete opposite to how they were executed in '” read more

"11.5. 2020 The Candyman arrives in New Orleans during Mardi Gras festival and continues killing people with a meat hook. One of his targets is a young woman who learns that her past is somehow connected to the story of Candyman. New Orleans is certainly a fascinating and actually perfect setting for a horror film but unfortunately that's the only at least somehow interesting thing about the otherwise lazily executed film. This city certainly deserves a better and more memorable tribute."

“A woman seeks the truth behind the accusations of murder lobbed at her brother and finds herself plunging deeper into her past. As her investigation unfolds she finds disturbing connections between her family and the legends of the Candyman, a mythic figure that the lower income denizens of New Orleans speak of only in whispers.

It would of seemed almost ironic, given the thematics of the film, if the continuity of the original "Candyman" would of served as the true basis for a sequel. Maybe even "sacrilegious", given that the titular boogeyman had died and a white woman had taken his place. Though there was no true need for a follow-up it was inevitable given the critical (and financial) response the original garnered. Three years after the exceptional first came the anti-climax” read more
