Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh

The thing about this movie was that I felt sorry for Candyman and found myself frequently shouting "kill 'em! kill 'em!" during the course of watching it. The sad, melodramatic tale of Candyman kind of makes you want to see him kill his victims, the descendants of those who had first murdered him.

i liked this follow up to the original Candyman movie.i found it entertaining and the acting is pretty good.i also liked that there was a back story that fleshed out the title character and gave him some humanity.i didn't find the movie scary and there wasn't a lot of gore,so gore hounds will be disappointed.the story itself doesn't have a lot of depth to it,other than the back story.still the movie goes along at a good clip,and it's very stylish,more so than the first one was.was it as good as the original?i think so.i don't think it was better,but it was as good.in terms of entertainment,i thought it was a good movie.if you expect to be scared,you might be disappointed here.otherwise,you might like it.for me,Candyman 2:Farewell to the Flesh is an 8/10

They had to do it. They had to make a sequel to one of the greatest horror movies of the 90s. But it's always sad to see how much difference in quality there has to be. I have to say, as far as sequels of slasher movies go, this ain't that bad. It has good production values. But of course the great acting performances of the original are gone except for Tony Todd's, who is almost equally as good as he was in the original. But also gone are the great editing and photography, the gritty realistic feel of the original, the eerie and moody score of Philip Glass. Candyman just continues ripping people up with motives that are standard in slasher movies. The bees are involved more in the gory scenes, but are still underused. Not half as good as the first movie. I haven't seen the third nor am i interested in doing so.

"Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh" is a good sequel of "Candyman", the story is similar to the first film but with some changes and set in a different location, also the Candyman background story is tell in this sequel. The acting, direction and cinematography are awesome, the atmosphere is creepy and the filming locations are amazing. A wonderful film!

The Candyman legend moves on to New Orleans, and has a whole new set of victims. Annie Tarrant (Kelly Rowan) is a school teacher. Her father was killed by the Candyman. Her brother Ethan (William O'Leary) is wrongly accused of murders, the latest being a Candyman denial writer. The change in setting concerns me, but New Orleans has some great potential for urban legends. It goes into the life of Daniel Robitaille a little bit more with maybe a possible way to kill him once and for all. But it's not as creepy as it needs to be. The movie lacks any tension or fear. Kelly Rowan is playing a typical scared victim. At least she has the skills to back it up. But the atmosphere isn't up to the original. It's all a weaker version of itself. It certainly doesn't have as powerful of an ending as the original.
