Summary: A Far Drop From The First 2, But Could Still Be Much Worse
Review: Taken on its own - without having seen Candyman 1 and 2 - I may well have enjoyed this movie a lot more than I did, because, it's far from garbage; it just never gets close to the bar the others set. It's techically well-made, but lacking on several fronts. My main fault is that the Candyman character's essence seemed to get lost somewhere - previously he was a horrifying but tragic figure, a monster where you can see why he became what he is; whereas here he comes off just evil, not sympathetic or tragic at all, and his prevoiusly poetic lamentations come across weakly, almost whiny at times, which was definately not the case in the first 2 movies. He veers dangerously close to being just 'evil-for-evil's sake', like Freddy Krueger, instead of the way he was. That works well for the "Nightmare On Elm Street" movies; Freddy is Supposed to be a totally evil, unsympathetic fiend without a single redeeming trait in his burned body - that's one of the main things that made the Elm Streets (the best of them, anyway) so excellent and the Freddy character one of the great horror icons. Candyman is a great horror icon too but for entirely different reasons, and it seems to me that kind of got lost in here.
I don't mean to be unnecessarily harsh. "Candyman: Day Of The Dead" certainly has its good points - solid production, some beautiful California scenery (not the least of which is female lead Donna D'Errico), an unnerving and terrific opening sequence, and another fine performance by Candyman Tony Todd, who manages to impress even with significantly weaker material to work with. It was a valiant attempt by the filmmakers (who did better on the movie "Sleepstalker: Last Rites Of the Sandman"), and I guess I'd still recommend this for Candyman fans - some people may enjoy this more than I did - but in my mind it's still a big comedown from what came before. I hope the 4th installment will be a step back up.

Summary: DISAPOINTING SEQUEL
Review: "Candyman" is a horror classic,but the thrid is everything but a classic."Candyman 3" appears to have a very low budget,very poor acting,and like a lot of horror cheapies,it has no plot it at all.All "Candyman 3" is,is a cheap attempt to cash in on the first two's theatrical sucess and tries to revive an already dead horror series. For "Candyman" fans only,others will be wasting their money.

Summary: A GOOD ENTRY IN THE SERIES
Review: After the classic Candyman, this is a good sequel. I think this is a much better movie than part 2. Part 2 I have mixed feelings on, it's not a great movie, but with this third entry in the series, I think it a not bad sequel. I'm not claiming it's an amazing film, but it is good. The two leads of Nick Corri and Donna D'Errico were good. I love Nick Corri-very sexy. (He should be remembered for 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' as rod lane).
If your a fan of the series, then this is a must in the collection.

Summary: Typical sequel fare - nothing original
Review: As an avid horror fan I LOVED Candyman, LIKED Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh, but I have to say that I didn't really like Candyman 3. The acting was pretty bad - even the Candyman himself was not that intimidating or scary. Of course, the Baywatch beauties are an eye-feast but when it comes to intriguing characters no way - I could have cared less about what was happening to them. Watch out for tired, rehashed special effects. What's with the pasted on bees! My advice is to go rent the original Candman again and enjoy the movie.

Summary: If you thought the first Candyman sequel was bad.....
Review: Candyman 3: Day of the Dead, such a terrible movie, I found myself wondering "Who in the hell could like this movie?" Surely not the people whom flipped for the original film. Candyman (1992) is a very scary film, Clive barker's story was frightening and interesting, this second hand follow up turns the hook handed phantom into a sixth or seventh rate Freddy knock off, I found myself praying to get a glimpse of the BEAUTIFUL female lead in this movie naked, for that would of helped the proceedings along a little bit. But when that is what you find yourself wishing for when watching a sequel to the modern classic, you know that all the lousy FX, sixth grade screenplay and terrible acting have killed the hopes for a decent Candyman sequel.

Summary: 3rd time really isn't the charm.
Review: Candyman is after his great-great-great-granddaughter, or someone like that, played by Donna Derrico. Yes, this sequel is simply horrendous, lacking any of the psychological and visceral scares of the original, and certainly missing any of the intriguing storytelling. Tony Todd is still an imposing figure as Candyman, but Derrico is awful, and why didn't she realize the only thing that could have made her performance bearable was showing some nudity?

Summary: Trilogy3
Review: Candyman isn't known to be the best of the best in horror, but it is more entertaining, and scary than the Friday The 13th, and A Nightmare On Elm Street sereis. The first Candyman was the best, and a true classic. The second one was very dissapointing and non-scary, but a corney, and chessey sequel. But the third one was very surprsing, and scary. It wasn't chessey and corney, but it couldn't beat the orignal. But it had a big exception over the sequel.
