- TriviaBernard Rose originally conceived a sequel to his 1992 hit Candyman (1992) as not featuring the eponymous character at all but instead continuing to explore the nature of urban horror myths. This was quickly scotched when the producers figured that audiences would show up because they wanted to see Candyman eviscerate his victims.
- GoofsAs Annie's brother falls down the steps, he is obviously replaced by a stuntman with long hair.
Featured review
Daniel Robitaille comes to New Orleans to kill off his family members in 'Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh', a follow up sequel to the very popular 1992 slasher.
Taking place in New Orleans three years after Helen Lyle's battle with Candyman, the sequel begins with a familiar face (Phillip Purcell from the original) giving a presentation on his new book about the murders that took place in 1992 and the infamous urban legend. He decides to put on a show for the crowd and chants "Candyman" five times while looking into his reflective book cover. Once alone in a bar washroom, the Candyman murders him. Ethan Tarrant is blamed for the murder, as he was seen arguing with Purcell that night regarding the death of his father.
We then meet our main character Annie, and discover she is Ethan's sister. Their father said "Candyman" five times and ended up being murdered shortly after. In an attempt to clear Ethan's name, Annie starts looking into her family's past and discovers that she is the great grand-daughter of Daniel Robitaille! It was her family that cut off his hand decades back and used bees to kill him. After saying his name five times herself, Candyman comes to New Orleans to kill everyone surrounding Annie before eventually claiming her as his last victim.
There is a lot of Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh' that I enjoyed more than the original. We got way more Candyman and Tony Todd for one thing, which helped make the movie not drag on so much. There were a ton more deaths and a lot more gore. I also enjoyed following the actual backstory of Daniel Robitaille and how he was brutally murdered. The connection he had to our main character Annie and her family was told really well (and also set up the next sequel pretty nicely I must say). At the same time, there was something more real and raw about the original that this one lacked. This went way more supernatural and over the top at times, it certainly didn't take itself as serious as the first movie.
The acting was extremely strong in this one with Kelly Rowan leading the way as Annie Tarrant. I may have actually preferred her "final girl" performance to Madsen's. Tony Todd was given way more to do in this one, and he relished in the role. Veronica Cartwright of 'Alien' fame played Annie's mother and I thought she brought a lot of comic relief and wit to the movie which was needed.
Overall, this sequel to Candyman wasn't all that bad! It's a shame it didn't do better at the box office, the backstory of Daniel Robitaille becoming Candyman was finally told to it's full extent and told pretty well.
6/10.
