The Candyman returns once again to torment and kill a distant relative for further undisclosed or vague reasons.
This time it's Baywatch alumni Donna D'Errico taking the lead and boring the hell out of us for the films 90 minute duration.
Granted this is a marginal step up from Farewell To The Flesh (1995) but still spotlights why the Candyman franchise died such a death.
I've never understood how Tony Todds Candyman became so iconic, how do people place him alongside the likes of Freddy, Leatherface and Jason when he had just 3 rather mediocre films to his name.
I'd like to see Candyman reborn, whether a 4th film or a reboot I don't mind but we a) Need Todd to remain the titular role and b) New writers.
The Good:
Wade Williams
Donna D'Errico is far better here than I've seen her before
The Bad:
Plot is still pretty messy
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Remaking the origin scene and making it different makes about as much sense as nipples on men
Donna D'Errico is allergic to bra's
