Critic Reviews

  • Brian Juergens, CampBlood.org

    Maybe "Farewell to the Franchise" would have been a more appropriate title - this retread of the very scary original is a mildly hilarious mess.

    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.
