Summary: Better than the second, but thats nothing to brag about
Review: The last living descendent of the Candyman (Donna D'Errico) is haunted by dreams telling her to destroy the Candyman myth. It basically has the same plot of the other two installments, but still has lame murder sequences and poor scripting that doesn't make it anything special. Its rather ironic that every sequel always ignores the end of the previous Candyman movie. How many times do they have to kill him? When will he just die and this cycle of depressingly average sequels finish.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: CANDYMAN 3: Day of the Dead
Review: The mythical killer with a hook for a hand is back in CANDYMAN 3: DAY OF THE DEAD! A young woman named Caroline is having strange nightmares concerning the killer known as 'Candyman.' Soon, she discovers that she is the great-great granddaughter of Candyman, and he has come to kill her. This is another good sequel in the CANDYMAN series, but I also hope that this is the last one they ever make because I don't think they could make any more interesting stories about the Candyman.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very poor
Review: This film was very disapointing end to it's predescessors. In Candyman, the original and it's sequel were written by Clive Barker of whom wrote many classic horror films including Hellraiser but this one was written by an entirely written author.

Anyway, the story continues off in the same fashion. Caroline, the great great grandaughter of Daniel Rubok (aka Candyman) is having some nightmares, nightmares of her relation coming to murder her. That is when she utters his name 5 times.

Candyman has come for her, to claim the last of his bloodline.

Sounds good doesn't it? Or is it what we heard before?

This film was purely made to squeeze whatever was left in the series.

To keep the male audience happy, Caroline is a beautiful blonde bombshell who makes them look.

But the acting is atrocious on her part. Her screams are such a joke and as for the other cast, that speaks for itself. The nudity was totally unnecessary which seemed to mask the true horror of the film. Tony Todd, the Candyman's acting was very much missed in this film. The same storyline exists in this film, and nothing ever changes. Candyman frames his relative with his murders and his classic "Be my victim" still remains but the plot never changes. Also what was missing was the excellent piano score that the previous two had. A sad hypnotic piece it was was replaced by some atrocious music rubbish. Overall an awful film that shouldn't have been produced at all. I rest my case

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I've Been Robbed!!!!
Review: This is the worst film I've ever seen. I know what you're thinking. I realize it's a horror sequal,but still it's BAD. The Acting, The sets, Candyman himself looks embarrased to be there.I thankfully stopped watching at the hour mark,so I only have 1hour I can't have back.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mildly Entertaining
Review: This one is all washed up. I mean it uses EVERYTHING from the previous films, ESPECIALLY Candyman's diolouge!

PLOT: ONCE AGAIN Candyman haunts his family of lonely, beautiful lead CAROLINE( typical ). Which is the daughter of the lead from the 2nd entry. But the lead from the second entry is killed offscreen, so now Caroline is alone( typical ). Caroline's friend Mickey, or Miguel, whatever his name WAS, opens an art gallery of Daniel Robentei's paintings. Caroline is offened that Mickey calls her former family member Candyman. I would go over that, but it is all in part 1 and 2, so I'll skip it. Anywho, Caroline accidently ressurects her old family member who is formally known as CANDYMAN. You have to say his name 5 times in the mirror to summon him. He kills a bunch of people with the hook for his hand( typical ), which is explicitly dull if you HAVE seen the first to films, most of it is just repetative. But fear not, there is not all lost in this latest entry! There is a plot element that I particuarlly enjoyed about this entry. In this one, it is kind of like a battle amongst the characters in which they were all trying to blame each other on who commited the Candyman murders. Will Caroline be blamed? Or will it be Detective Sam and his partner or Caroline's recent boyfriend? I won't tell, or say that it is not predictible.

CHARACTERS: Caroline( Donna D'Errico ) fills up her horror role as the babe trying to survive from the maniac( cough, typical ). She is also probably the only way the movie team was able to put this B- movie out to Blockbuster, and they use her and Tony for the advertising( check out the back cover and you'll get me ). Tony Todd is same old, same old, again. Detective Jamal is kinda cool but we don't see enough of him. The racist cops are the only other new aspect to this entry, and they are...( cough, cough, typical ). Caroline's boyfriend was on the original NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, besides that, he is boring.

SUMMARY: This is no doubt a B- movie. The horror movie cliches are noticable and the plot is mostly predictacle. The ending was old and( cough, cough, cough, typical ) .On a positive note, this one is more compact and contains less plot holes than the previous films. And it is easily the DARKEST in the series, which was a very unpredictable step above Part 2's enthusiastic feel.

AND: Yo Candyman fans! This is NOT a trilogy series. On UPCOMMING HORROR MOVIES.COM it is said that Tony Todd tells some magizine or something that there IS a greenlighted sequel comming sometime! Keep waiting!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good ending to the Candyman trillogy
Review: This was a really good movie, but it failed to live up to the original. It stars the beautiful Donna D'Errico as the final decendent of the Candyman, she must try to kill him and destroy the legend. If the people don't believe in him he does not exist.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It shouldn't of been made
Review: WHat started off as a cool horror film has dwindled down to a cheap slasher film. THe candyman is back hunting another decendent but in essence he is more like an ghostly stalker. He still wants to take her back to the grave with him and in teh process rip up a few bodies while he is at it. THis sad piece of work leaves little to the imagination and instead leaves you weeping at how pathetic it is. Thsi time his power is in his paintings which need to be destroyed in order to kill him, right. Hollywood will pobably ...out some new entry soon enough. Avoid.
