Some people just never learn from history. They believe that what happened to others won't be their fate as well. This is what often happens in Horror movie sequels. Some believe the stories and leave well enough alone. Others tell them it's just their imagination. The characters in 'Candyman' messed with something they didn't believe in. It was inevitable that someone else would make the same mistake.
Pros: Well acted. Solid directing job. Powerful opening sequence. Though mostly a repeat, Phillip Glass's score is still effective. Atmospheric cinematography. Some quite good effects. A few really chilling sequences. Moves at a nice pace.
Cons: Relies too much on false scares. Reveals perhaps too much about the monster's origins. Repeats many plot devices from the original.
Final thoughts: The original 'Candyman' was surely a tough act to follow. As a sequel, and on it's own, 'Farewell to the Flesh' works pretty well. So many sequels to Horror films lack the heart of their predecessors. The makers of this one obviously wanted to give us a worthy continuation of the story. For the most part, it's a success. Too bad it didn't end here though.
My rating: 3.5/5
