Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Steineded How sad is this?
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Jackson Booth-Millard The first film was marvellous, the second film was silly, and this third film, with the title not to be confused with the George A. Romero zombie film, I knew it was going to be terrible, being a straight to DVD release and getting the lowest critic ratings. Basically the Maxican holiday Day of the Dead, which celebrates to remember friends and family members who have died, is going on in Los Angeles, and the Candyman (Tony Todd) is still being called for by foolish people calling his name five times in the mirror. Art gallery owner Caroline McKeever (Donna D'Errico) is finding herself defending the memory of black slave Daniel Robitaille, the man who was tortured by villagers with his right hand sawed off, covered in honey and stung to death by bees, she will snap at anyone who speaks badly about him because of the legends and the previous reported murders. Caroline is in fact a distant relative of the Candyman, so when she calls his name five times in the mirror he does not want to kill her, he says it is her destiny for her to come with him so he will no longer be alone in hell, and will kill anyone associated with her until she does. Authorities get involved when the murders occur around her and she is accused of some involvement, and when the situation increases bigoted Lieutenant Detective Samuel Kraft (Wade Andrew Williams) is prepared to do anything to stop the killings, even if it means not bringing in Caroline alive, of course in the end she finds some way to defeat the Candyman. Also starring Nick Corri/Jsu Garcia as David de la Paz, Alexia Robinson as Tamara, Mike Moroff as Tino, Mark Adair-Rios as Miguel Velasco, Lupe Ontiveros as Abuela and Jud Meyers as Fitz. Todd is now just repetitive with his familiar lines in that deep voice and no longer creepy with the hook for a hand, the deaths are not as bloody as I remember from before either, this is definitely much more pointless and ridiculous than the previous sequel, it is predictable, it has a stupid story, and it just feels like rubbish, an awful horror sequel. Poor!
FlashCallahan The ghostly serial killer returns once again from beyond the grave this time to haunt a Los Angeles art gallery owner named Caroline McKeever, a distant relative of the Candyman.In order for him to claim her soul so she will be next to him, the Candyman goes about killing all those associated with Caroline in the usual gory ways with his hook and making it appear to the authorities that Caroline is the one responsible for the killings....Tony Todd said in an interview in 2003 that he didn't really care for this movie.And I wonder why? This film has to be one of the worse sequels ever to such a good first movie, and sadly, even from watching it from a 'straight to DVD third movie, so it could be cheesy fun' angle, the film has no redeeming qualities to it.First off, the lead actress D'errico (the one from baywatch) has the most annoying scream in the world,and soon you wish she had a hook in her throat.Secondly, Todd looks beyond bored, and in some scenes, it's as if he has had a drink, because words cannot explain his facial expressions.It's plot is ripped from the first movie, right down to the best friend, and the inclusion of a silly twist at the end, makes the film even more ludicrous.It's not even a film you can laugh at. It's one of those movies you will find yourself giving dirty looks, and hating yourself for watching it.
idiotboy For years I thought I'd seen all three of the Candyman movies, but on a whim I watched them through again recently. I wish I'd stuck with my assumption and stopped after the first two, for the Day of the Dead was an utter disappointment.My first impression, given during the opening credits was: "They dropped the Philip Glass music, and all they can show me is a shiny red hook from about fifty different angles. This movie is going to suck." My second impression was from the very first shot of our new 'heroine', Ms. D'Erico. Seeing her trying to act I was reassured that this must be the obligatory 'stupid person calling Candyman and dying instantly to prove what film it is' scene. To my horror, this was entirely not the case. My eyes were assaulted by the unfortunate attempts by various people to act throughout this poor excuse of a sequel. My ears were assaulted by each and every high-pitched squeak of a scream that Donna uttered when she was told to act scared, or surprised, or happy, or mildly confused... My sense of common was assaulted when Donna dropped her keys through a heating vent in her corridor, and I had to watch the horrifying effort she put into wedging her hand through the tiniest gap in that vent after she knocked into the hinged section leaving a gap large enough to fit her head through. Twice! Tony Todd, the legend himself, did however do a valiant job for about half the movie, before he gave up from being given the same lines to parrot he'd had in his previous two movies, over and over. He was still a formidable presence though, and kudos to him for giving it a go.I realise that I'm being quite negative about this awful awful movie, though that is probably because it hurt my brain so much to watch it. I can't recommend this movie to anyone, but there's a chance you might enjoy it anyway. If you were very drunk. Or not watching it.
Roosterz101 Candyman 3 day of the dead is pretty much one of the best horror movies you can find. The plot is not any thing special because it is pretty much the same plot as candyman 2 farwell to the flesh but the movie itself completely makes up for it believe me. This movie is about a women named Caroline(Donna D'Errico) who is an ancestor to the candyman(Tony Todd). Candyman wants to bring Caroline back to the grave with him. This movie is probably the second goriest movie in the series behind the original candyman. I would highly recommend this to a fan of Candyman or Scream. I give this 2 thumbs up.Roosterz review for parents, My ratings are either Minor,Mild,Moderate,Heavy,Strong,Graphic or pervasive.Sex:Moderate Violence:Graphic Nudity:Moderate Gore:Graphic Language:Heavy.
