Quote:

Art collector Caroline McKeever (Donna D'Errico) conjures up the spirit of her relative, Daniel Robitaille (Tony Todd), an African-American painter who was lynched by a white mob generations before. Daniel, who wants Caroline to join him in vengeance, begins murdering her friends and making her appear responsible for the killings. As the bodies pile up, Caroline tries to convince racist police officer L.V. Sacco (Robert O'Reilly) that the real culprit is Daniel, the famous "Candyman" killer.

I've never seen this, but will probably get it to complete the Candyman collection. This has probably been the most requested Vestron title, so great that it's finally coming.

critterdvd · 11-03-2021, 04:55 AM

I actually had a really, really hard time sitting through this one a couple of years ago, but I'll pick it up since I haven't missed a Vestron title yet...

DaveyJoe · 11-03-2021, 06:44 AM

I can't think of a greater drop-off in quality for a sequel than Candyman 2, and I've heard that it's much better than the third film. I will still order.

GeoffOliver · 11-03-2021, 07:50 AM

Got the barebones German disc recently (which cost almost $30 to import). This better have a new transfer and/or some decent extras for me to consider double dipping.

DR Herbert West · 11-03-2021, 07:56 AM

Finally!

Terrible film, but I can't resist.

Akuash · 11-03-2021, 09:17 AM

Hopefully it has a nice slipcover to make up for how awful the movie is.

drush9999 · 11-03-2021, 09:54 AM

Yep as peeps above, terrible film, but I just have to complete the series...

LawnFurniture · 11-03-2021, 10:23 AM

One of the worst horror movie sequels I’ve ever seen but these Vestron titles are so cheap I’ll pick it up. Curious what the features will be because I’d love to hear what people have to say about this one.

KenHurd · 11-03-2021, 10:58 AM

Finally! This may be the worst Candyman film, but It'll be a day one purchase for me.

Candyman 3 is the Howling III of the series - practically unwatchable. But, like everybody else, I'm buying a copy to complete the trilogy.

darkness2918 · 11-03-2021, 12:44 PM

I’ll be buying this one for sure. Maybe not the best (ok it’s awful

) but Tony Todd is enjoyable in it at least.

Zillamon51 · 11-03-2021, 01:53 PM

Been waiting for this one. I'm in!

I know I'm in the minority, but I may actually prefer this one to Part 2. Farewell to the Flesh is certainly more ambitious. But the things it tries (showing Candyman's backstory, for example) are very poorly done. Part 3 is more of a simple exploitation / slasher sequel, and it does okay at that. Its ambitions are lower, but it achieves them more successfully.

dcfan88 · 11-03-2021, 02:08 PM

I do not like this title but I'll be getting it for two reasons
1. I own the first two and I have the new one on preorder
2. I've been getting the Vestron titles lately so if this is a Vestron title I have to get it

TripleHBK · 11-03-2021, 03:02 PM

Finally something from our many years old "Where the hell are these films?" list. This is an easy day one for me. The quality notably drops from the first 2 films but I still feel it's unfairly maligned by many on these boards as it's arguably still a step up from much of the schlock we all watch from VS. Tony Todd is always enjoyable and though pretty dumb, it's still a Candyman film which in my eyes is better than no Candyman film.

I did a marathon of these last year and found part 3 to be not nearly as bad as folks made it out to be as that was my first viewing. I'm curious to see how a second viewing impacts my perception of the film and even more curious to see what a 2nd viewing of this film followed by the 2021 film does for my perception of the 2021 film as well. I liked some of the ideas in the new film but also found it pretty middle of the road

as well at times and while it is undoubtedly a better produced film, I'm curious to see how it ranks after a re-watch of all 4.

It's still pretty damn amazing to See Lionsgate return to cranking out release after release each month after such a long absence.
