Review of Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) by Kenneth B — 09 Oct 2013
Candyman 2 is very much an unnecessary sequel, it is certainly a disappointing one. It runs through similar motions to the first film only it contains none of the ambiguity of the original. The genius of Candyman was the way it blurred the lines between the myth and the reality.
It was much more enigmatic. Everything is spelled out in the second film. There is too much of the origin story of Robitaille. Sometimes a tragic figure is more tragic when we don't quite know his full story.
Finally there are all together too many cheap kills and the false alarm scares early on are so frequent that it verges on ludicrous.
