The Candyman returns to try to convince his female descendent, an artist, to join him as a legendary figure. To this end, he frames her for a series of hideous murders of her friends and associates so that she has nowhere else to turn to.
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.
