Summary: 5 Stars
Warren Ellis defines horror as "Seeing something there that isn't supposed to be there."While Candyman was a GREAT slasher film, probably one of the best. I feel that Candyman 2 simply IS NOT a slasher film and not really even a sequel for that matter.
It's a story about pride and prejudice, a man who was cast out in life and essentially erased from his family tree. I found the history of the Candyman and his relationship to Kelly Rowan (and oh my is she a hottie!) very touching and really unlike anything since Halloween.
This movie should not be compared to Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, the Friday the 13th, Candyman or any other Carpenter style horror films. This movie belongs with the stories of Frankenstien, Dracula, and the tales of H.P Lovecraft.
The real star of this is Kelly Rowan, (did I mention she's a hottie.) Who reacts convincingly to the strange things she's discovered yet still sees the folly of welcoming the Candyman into her life.
Movie Review: A sequel...need I say more?
Summary: 2 Stars
As if the first was'nt bad enough and even now a 3rd candyman film is out with yet the same kind of plot. Tony Todd is good as the baddie, but these films lack originality, sure you may say I'm just a reviewer what would I know, I could'nt do better, but in fact I can, I've come up with better ideas.Sequels can be good and in some cases better ie; TERMINATOR 2, ALIENS but this candyman 2 is just very weak and the best bit in the whole film was the end scene where he breaks like a mirror into a thousand pieces.
Movie Review: Ok, but not really worth looking at
Summary: 2 Stars
Candyman isn't as creative with his hook murders as he was with the first. Lots more gore and people getting gutted, but not nearly as entertaining as the first. The same as most of Clive Barker's sequels, lacks imagination.Movie Review: ok sequel with some chilling moments
Summary: 3 Stars
canyman was truly a classic horror film and although this sequel comes with a great start, it crumbles under its own weight. The first 10 minutes are genuinely creepy, but after the first half hour, you will find yourself somewhat bored. The suspense scenes are too far and too inbetween, you'll find yourself wishing that soemthing would start happening. Only the first ten mins. and the last three are worthwhile. The climax is pure cheese,but the performances are good. Worth watching only if you're a fan of the origina. But get ready to be dissappointed. Even the HBO sequel, Canyman 3 was better!
