I didn't really rate the original Candy Man all too high, I don't think it was terrible it was just a messy clichéd horror.
This came as a huge surprise to me, everything was arranged for it to achieve greatness including Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. Somehow, someway it just didn't work for me.
Farewell To The Flesh failed to impress me even more so. I see what they were trying to accomplish, they have attempted to flesh out the mythology of the Candyman and on that front they succeed.
Trouble is the movie just isn't very good, the cast are competent enough but the story is all over the place and I failed to get behind anyone let alone the protagonist.
To their credit I do understand everything they tried to do with this sequel, I just think very little of it came close to target.
The Good:
Decent cast
The Bad:
Desperate use of jump scares
Weirdly boring
Unengaging plot
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
The Candymans backstory is considerably more entertaining than the movies
