Review of Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999) by Nunn B — 04 Dec 2015

Okay, ugh. I just don't like this series at all. Resident douche, Dan Robbitae is back killing everyone and everything around his 10 million white granddaughters who all are obsessed with calling his name and summoning him. Even in this last film, he has nothing to do with Candy and barely had anything to do with it in the first film. By now, it's a stupid ass rinse and repeat situation. His dumbass is brought into the real world through some asshole calling his name 5 times in a mirror.

By now, I still don't understand shit. The hook, wtf is up with the hook? He has a nonexistent relationship with Candy. He teleports all around like an asshole coming and going when he pleases. He's obsessed with hanging out in areas, that are considered the projects. Why doesn't he exist in space or countrysides or even other countries? Why does he keep killing everyone and expect his granddaughters to keep supporting him. Don't these all take place around the same time period, how come none of the women in all three films know each other and neither is a previous film referenced. Also, what's the point in destroying him if he keeps coming back? What does he get destroyed and come back? Why did the filmmakers feel the need to repeat the backstory in every single film? Why does the series feel incomplete?

This film with different characters and elements and a different location is basically the same as the first two. And really the first movie which isn't even that good is the best one. Tony Todd is a really underrated actor. He's becoming one of my favorites, but I need to watch more of his films.
