Not Needed, but Not Terrible

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh isn't an awful movie. It's well filmed, reasonably well acted, and has a little style, but it's just not necessary. General rule of thumb with sequels is that, if you can't bring anything interesting to the plate to further the story that was built in the previous film, you should just leave it alone. I guess the studios saw big money and tried to milk this for all it was worth and that's a shame. It did give us Veronica Cartwright as a boozy southern belle, so I suppose it's not all for nothing.
