Candyman 2 - Farewell to the Flesh Reviews
Fast becoming a standard slasher series.
In much the same manner of "Halloween", "Friday the 13th", and "Nightmare on Elm Street", the "Candyman" series is one that should have stopped at part 1. But unlike the other aforementioned series, this one didn't make any money.
"Candyman 2 - Farewell to the Flesh" could have been a great horror movie if the filmmakers had actually researched the first movie. There are many plot points (none of which I will spoil here) that contradict what was stated clearly in the first film. But that is the least of this movie's problems. The acting and direction is sub-standard, even for a horror sequel. I went into this movie with the best expectations, hoping that it would further explore the urban legend. What I got was Candyman (without the creepy rasp of the first film, now just speaking in monotone) killing everybody we meet. To give credit where it is due, they gave Candyman more of a human identity, but it wasn't a very good attempt.
While sequels usually have better special effects, "Candyman 2" is actually a step down from the original. Despite a few bloody moments, most of the murders are laugable. I found Candyman to be scarier when we didn't see him as much.
I loved the first "Candyman" movie, and consider it to be the last really good horror movie made, in that it made something original. This sequel is not only derivative, but bloody and boring. There is a third part to the series, but I will give it a miss.
Candyman: Farewell To The Box Office.
This has to be one of the worst movies i have seen in my live of loveing horror films. CANDYMAN 1 was a god film and i had big hops for this one, but waht can you get out of must sequels these days. It's nothing to original, but it thalls you how Candyman became candtman etc, etc. And it had some good gore scenes, but only see this film win you have a movie to see you know is good.
Rated R for horror Violence and Language.
