Description:
His myth has endured for generations. His legacy is eternal rage. And now he's back...with a vengeance! Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh continues the tale of the phantom-like figure who wreaksa terrible fate upon those who chant his name five times while looking into a mirrorand come face-to-face with grisly death. A victim of unspeakable evil while he lived, the 'Candyman' (Tony Todd, The Crow) has become evil incarnate in his afterlife. This time, he haunts the city of New Orleans, where a young schoolteacher named Annie Tarrant (Kelly Rowan, 187) is struggling to solve the brutal murder of her father. The locals insist that he was slain by the Candyman,but Annie is not convinced...until she unwittingly summons him forth, learns the secret of his power, and discovers the link that connects her to him. But can she stop him before he kills again?
Amazon.com:
A stylish though inferior sequel to its classic predecessor, Bill Condon's Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh deepens our knowledge of what made the murdered Daniel Robitaille turn into the monster that haunts dreams and mirrors. But some of it is still pretty routine: schoolteacher Annie takes a long time to connect her family's plantation-owning past and her own artistic talent with the legend, and is far too ready to say the Candyman's name five times in a mirror to debunk her pupils' fears.
The setting: New Orleans at Carnival time with a disc jockey whimsically reminding us that Carnival is the last farewell to pleasure before the rigors of Lent. Tony Todd, who returns as the Candyman, gives a quiet dignity and sadness to the monstrous specter with a hook for a hand. His life was torn from him and he is mad for vengeance, yet he has an artistic temperament and loved Annie's kinswoman Caroline. Condon captures an attractive elegiac tone in much of this, as well as moments of brutal horror. --Roz Kaveney

Rating:  - I sensed some anger management issues here
By now you pretty much know what this film is about. The heroine is pretty bland and screams, a lot.She teaches art to poor black kids, this tells us she is a Good Person, she has a shouty brother. The Candyman wants her (and presumably the audience)to feel sorry for him, he does this by jamming a hook through the guts of nice white people. So good luck if you thought this film would win an award for promoting racial harmony.
The film is set in New Orleans so naturally all the cliches are thrown ... Read More
Rating:  - more stylish than the first
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 ... Read More

Rating: - A Sad Story
I agreed with this, at least what I saw. Mainly, making the Candyman character a horror icon along the lines of Freddy or Jason. The scenes of seeing the title character hazed, lynched and left for dead borders on the unwatchable. But unlike Freddy or Jason, this is genuinely terrifying because it is more super realitic. The title name the Candy man implies that the black man who has the lead character was intellectually childlike- a mob hazed and lynched him, stunk honey on him hench the word candy and then ...

Rated R for violence and gore, and for some sexuality and language.
Many die-hard horror fans absolutely worship the original "Candyman" because it's so genuinely scary and intelligently adapted from a Clive Barker story. This sequel (it looks more like a prequel, actually, ... Read More
