Review of Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999) by Lee R — 28 Apr 2009

Another Horror series that started well and slowly got flushed down the crapper by Writers and Directors with no respect for the original. It starts badly and gets worse from there on. At least it answers the question: whatever happened to the actor that played Tinas boyfriend in A Nightmare on Elm St! The continuity is that bad that this film disregards the fact that there was a scene in the second film that flashed back to when the Candyman was killed by the angry mob and has its own flashback scene thats completely different.

The lead heroine is played by ex Baywatch ditz and walking breasts Donna D'Errico who proves that her days running around on a beach was no one off...she really is that wooden. There are no good scares to be had anywhere in this mess of a movie.

And as for poor Tony Todd, he really is only doing this for the paycheck and once again recycles every line of dialogue from the first movie. If you want to watch a good horror movie then watch Candyman, even if you must watch the not quite as good second film but do not watch this festering pile of shit!
