Stars: Tony Todd, Donna D'ErricoBudget: unknown
Directed By: Turi Meyer
Weirdly this sequel is based in our year of 2020 (if only they knew!) a full 25 years after the last film. Though only made in 1999.
I've not been able to find much on the budget or how much this sequel made. It did only have limited cinema release in the US, can't find info if it was released anywhere else.
No actors of any consequence starred in this either except of course Tony Todd as the titular Candyman again. We do get Donna D'Errico of Baywatch fame who for me was about the only recognizable face.
So far this movie hasn't been regarded as good, so I thought it'll be a good reason to give it a watch again and to be totally honest I couldn't remember if i'd actually even seen it all those years back.
This time it revolves around Caroline McKeever who is Annie's daughter from the last movie. She owns a gallery in Los Angles somehow the Candyman returns to claim he soul to stay with him as she's a full reincarnation of his own daughter.
He starts doing his usual schtick of killing people involved with her just like he does in part 1 and 2, except this time some people actually cotton on to whats going on. Midway they capture Caroline then call on the Candyman to take her so that the murders stop.
The Candyman kills everyone but her then reveals to her how he came back, that Annie summoned him back from the dead then he killed her making it look like suicide. He then tells her all the other people he killed, including members of her family, Caroline screams that she'll kill him. He vanishes leaving Caroline escape.
Now that is pretty much the whole movie right there in a nutshell so we won't spoil it any further. If you like the first and/or second of these movies it's a good stopping point of the series, though it's by far the worst of the bunch. He now resides in the pictures of the gallery, foreshadowing for the new film?
THN wards Candyman 3 a mediocre 2 out of 5 stars.
