8/10
Great sequel to the best 90s slasher
10 July 2020
CANDYMAN: FAREWELL TO THE FLESH is a rare example of a sequel done right & well. No, it's not excellent, and no, it's not a must-own either, but unlike the third entry, you won't regret buying this one. Arguable FAREWELL TO THE FLESH is a mere rehash of the first part, with much more gore and a higher body count, but the setting (New Orleans), a superb Tony Todd and the back story of how the Candyman came to be make it worthwhile. While the original relied more on the psychological horror, the sequel is more of a visceral experience and one of the few R-rated movies that will actually satisfy gorehounds as well.
