    While it's not quite as sweet as the original Candyman, this delicious sequel is as surreal as it is chic. Tony Todd reprises his role as Candyman, whose complete story, I was pleased to see, was revealed in this film, and he does it with flair. A delectable slasher movie that ...( read more)lives up to its original, even though it fails to surpass it. I promise I will stop with the candy puns now.

    A few flaws but otherwise enjoyable movie, may be boring moments but only fleeting ones.

    Just as compelling and creepy as the original Candyman movie. I was spooked once again!

    The setting is New Orleans this time, during the Carnival.

    The first film had a huge bonfire; this one has a huge flood of water; for a spectacular memorable end sequence.

    A pretty good sequel which explains the legend a bit more.

    This sequel to a decent but unspectacular horror flick is a rarity; it actually adds to the original rather than diminishing it in a half-arsed and soulless attempt to milk it for cash. I'm a fan of Tony Todd and he fleshes out the backstory of the "dreaded" Candyman with reasona...( read more)ble style.

    I was living in the French Quarter of New Orleans when I watched this, and was amused that one particular scene took place a block from where I was at. It was not as good as the first in this series, but it wasn't too terribly bad that I would refuse to watch it again next chance...( read more) I get. And now I'm interested in how part three turns out.

    No where near as good as the 1st one but then again that was pretty laughable so what did I expect...
