Review of Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999) by Joe J — 22 Aug 2012
Candyman (Tony Todd) is back, and this time invading Los Angeles.
When his great granddaughter Caroline (Donna D'Errico) summons Candyman through a mirror, he desires to be with the last of his bloodline. Meanwhile, Caroline comes to terms with this evil spirit versus the nice man that Candyman used to be, as well as trying to avoid the police who think she is responsible for the string of murders occurring all around her.
The first two "Candyman" films have been staples in the horror movie industry as some of the best. Not so much for "Day of the Dead." Even Tony Todd later confessed that he didn't care for this movie, because it seems very watered down, and the performances were less than stellar, even in Todd's case. I did like the fact that it followed the path the first two took with Candyman going after his blood relatives and not making up a whole new story, but still, the Candyman franchise would've been fine without this addition.
