Protraph Lack of good storyline.
PodBill Just what I expected
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
callanvass The first movie is a perfect example of how to make a classic horror film. After the mediocre sequel, I thought it couldn't get any worse! I was dead wrong on that. This went STV and it shows. At least the second sequel had semblance of suspense, this sequel nearly put me to sleep. It's extremely cheap and clearly here to make some quick cash. They try to force the "Candyman" is a myth thing on us. Uh....how many times has Candyman killed people? Surely, someone would start to think he's for real at this juncture. I didn't buy it and it felt like they were going to the well one too many times. I also hate how they keep showing snippets of Daniel Robitaille's past. WE KNOW THE STORY!! Enough already. There is virtually no suspense, no thrills, and absolutely no scares. Not only that, but it's really boring. There are far too many times where I felt like dozing off. That shouldn't be happening with Candyman. There is gore, but I didn't care. We get your usual hook carnage and some CGI bees. The acting is pretty bad. Tony Todd looks disillusioned and embarrassed by this sequel. He knows what a piece of crap this sequel is. He's shown way too much and the mystique is gone. What a shame! Donna D'Errico felt like a model and nothing more. Her performance is amateurish, and she had no business being the heroine in this movie. Needless to say, she failed to evoke sympathy from me. Jsu Garcia (NOES fame) grabs a quick paycheck. A reviewer on this site called this a "pathetic end" I couldn't have said it any better. It ranks as one of the worst endings to a horror franchise. Hopefully they give Candyman the send-off he richly deserves. 2/10
GL84 Taunted by numerous stories and rumors over the years, a woman's attempts to disprove the Candyman legend inadvertently releases him upon her friends and forces her to try to stop him from continuing on.This actually turned out to be quite a bit of fun and is much better than expected. One of the better elements here is the fact of this one managing to tie in the family legacy incredibly well, perhaps even better than any of the other entries throughout here. The relationship itself is one thing, but bringing in the visions of the mother as well as the connection through them makes this one so entertaining and manages to really connect this one quite well. That brings up the main storyline point here with this one brining the blood and gore through some rather inventive and enjoyable encounters here. The more chilling and enjoyable ones are based on the nightmares so this one's more thrilling moments come from the supernatural elements like the opening attack in the bathroom, the confrontation with the deformed mother coming from the bloody tub despite being in the public bathroom and the finale in his hive-home for the final struggle causes this one a lot of fun as this all comes off as exciting, extended action scenes build around pretty big scares. Other scares, as in the patrol car ambush or the gallery attack show-off the ability of this one to use the supernatural antics in the real works do it makes for a series of pretty intriguing and chilling scenes that also bring about some nice fore as well. It does have a few flaws, the main one being the rather overdone manner where the killer's targets toward the main victim here spends the whole film tormenting them instead of actually doing something about it. Despite the repeated claims of wanting her as one of the victims, he never really makes any effort to go after her and instead utilizes the psychological torment of going after her friend and family to get the job done which really makes no sense since he clearly has plenty of time to go after her instead. Otherwise, this one comes off just fine as it is.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and a brief, mild sex scene.
sam ramzy This movie is one of these movies that you ask yourself ''why did they make this thing??''. the movie is really useless, and it added nothing new, plus there are really a lot of confusing and wrong things in the movie, if you watched the first two movies you'll understand, for example here the candyman was killed in a forest or something while in the 2nd movie we saw him die in a field....etc, what was really awful that they took everything that made the first two movies two of the best slasher/ horror movies ever made like the score and the dark feeling of the movie and turned it into a boob and gore feast,plus after a while you feel really bored that you wish the movie ends ASP,,,,
kirk-246 'Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers', 'A Nightmare On Elm Street 2', 'Childs Play 3', and 'Candyman 3' all have something in common.If you're thinking that they're all sequels, you are right, but there's something else.All of these movies are examples of underrated sequels.I liked all of these movies and I don't care what other people have to say about them.I thought that 'Candyman 3: Day of the Dead' was a pretty decent horror movie with another groundbreaking performance by Tony Todd.Nobody will ever play a better Candyman than him.That's a fact that we horror fans should know.I haven't seen the 2nd movie yet, but I do have to say that the first and the third were pretty good.Maybe the third wasn't as good as the first, but I still found it to be a good movie.After you're finished reading my review, I want you to go to a mirror and say Candyman 5 times.If he shows up and tries to kill you, then it serves you right for thinking that this movie was totally pointless.If the Candyman franchise wants to be really popular, then there needs to be a 4th installment.Let's hope that Tony Todd is willing to play Candyman again.
