Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh Movie Review 1994

Explains the origins of the urban bogeyman called Candyman--the man, the hook, and the bees. Rehashes the same old scare tactics from previous and better horror movies and uses cheesy special effects. The sensual background of New Orleans during Mardi Gras can't help this stale sequel. Embrace this "Farewell" from a distance. Based on stories by Clive Barker.
