Candyman: Day of the Dead (1999)

What to Expect

This third installment in the Candyman franchise is basically a lazy reboot of the original Candyman. Recycled story, stock actors, no atmosphere, cheap jumps scares. Boring. Forgettable.

In Candyman 3, his descendant is a hot chick from Baywatch who’s sexualized from the first scene, that’s all you really have to know to see the direction this installment takes.

Oh, and there’s a scene where Candyman is making out with her in bed.

Remember this is his great, great granddaughter.

So now you really know the direction this one takes.

It feels like a completely different movie, like a low budget attempt to ride the then modern slasher wave.
