Summary: save yourselves, don't watch this movie
Review: I absolutely ADORED Candyman, and the second one was one of the better sequels i have ever seen. when i heard that a third installment in the franchise was coming out, i couldn't wait to see it. i was, however extremely disappointed in this movie, more then any other movie i have ever seen. this movie should not even have the right to bare the name Candyman and how the makers of this film were able to convince Tony Todd to portray the Candyman again, is beyond me! spare yourself an hour and a half of pure boredom and rent the original! the only part of interest in the entire movie was Donna D'Errico's obvious FAKE faint! someone should give the girl a lesson on how to faint with a touch of realism! sorry Donna, but it wasn't your best work by far!

Summary: This movie is utter crap
Review: I have not seen the first two, but I happened to watch this cable. Bad acting, irrelevent plotline, it is basically your typical horror movie series pattern: 1st 1 or 2 movies do well, other people cash in one the name recognition.

Summary: A good sequel and I think the scariest!!!!!!!!
Review: I like the candyman movies. I've never seen the second one but will buy it when it comes out on DVD. The first one was okay. It was very scary. The only thing that it didn't have as much gore as the 3rd one does. But it does have quite some. The movie is about a man that was a slave and was killed by being covered in homey and then covered in a swarm of bees. His right hand then was chopped off and a bloody hook was jammed on. He came back. Anytime someone would look into a mirror and say his name (candyman) five times, he would appear and kill them by gutting them though their stomach neormous times causing guts and blood to go everywhere with his hook. It's a pretty good series. The third one is the best and especially on the DVD. Ithas great sound and picture quality. It only has a trailer. I wish they had a commentary or a documentary on the series. It still is good.

Summary: They should stop here
Review: I LOVED Candyman 1, I LIKED Candyman 2, but Candyman 3 just didn't grab me. The series here goes direct-to-video and it really hurts the film. It just feels and looks cheaper than the first two. The story also isn't all that special. There just isn't anything new to do with Candyman. Tony Todd does a good job as the title role, by Donna De'errico leaves a bad taste in the mouth and makes the film seem really [inferior]. Whenever a baywatch beauty is featured in movie, it just makes the movie seem poor. Candyman fanatics may find some mild interest int he film, but it is passable. I really hope they end the series here. Part 3 is almost too much and a part 4 would push the series over the edge. But since the franchise is now owned by artisian home entertainenment, they will probably fork out another direct-to-video entry within the next five years. They did it with the Wishmaster series!

Summary: 'Bee' his victim!
Review: I really am not a great fan of the Candyman franchise, but after giving this a go, it restored my faith. Daniel Robertaille(Tony Todd) returns once again to play the infamous 'Candyman' in a sequel that is better and far more creepier than the first two, and yes dare I say, more watchable then the first film. What I liked about this was it was much more surreal and darker. The acting was nothing special, but who cares? It stars Donna D'errico (from... 'Baywatch') and Nick Corri (Rod Lane from 'Nightmare on Elm St'). The ending isn't too bad.... In my opinion, if you are to watch any of the 3 'candyman' films then this is the one I highly reccomend. ...The mind boggles, but don't be put off!

Summary: Don't look Candyman will gut you with his hook...
Review: I think that Day Of The Dead was spooky, entertain ning, and non-stop fun!! It couldn't beat the orignal classic, but it beated Farwell To The Flesh, which is a dissapointing, and corney sequel. Candyman 3 is fun, and surprsing!

Summary: Candyman 3:Day of the Dead is good but coulda' been better..
Review: I've always been a fan of the Candyman movies because they were genuinely creepy and, because of that, I've collected them all. Yet, out of the three that are out now, this is my least favorite of the series. Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie but seems to lack the creepiness of the first two.(Not even the gratuitous bra/panty and T&A shots could save this movie, I'm afraid, and there's alot more in here than the previous two. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.) It's just that the first two movies took more of a visceral approach to the horror and this movie seems to take a back seat to it. There's too much recapping going on about his life history, which is fine for those new to the series, but too much emphasis is put on it. Us Hardcore Candyman fans already know all about it. All in all, though, everyone gives a good performance in the movie. It's a good, decent Candyman movie but one I feel coulda been better. Much better.
If and when they come out with a fourth in the series, I do hope and pray they don't make it come out like this one. Candyman is a good creepy series that shouldn't be tarnished by giving that creepiness a back seat.

Summary: Worst horror movie I've ever seen!
Review: If you think that for example Friday the 13th is low budget, then rethink! In Candyman 3, the acting is terrible, not to mention the special effects. The only reason to buy this movie is for the opportunity to see some good looking (bad) actresses in their underwear.

Summary: Stale Candy
Review: Originally created by horror innovator Clive Barker, Candyman returns for a third time, in a sequel that could have desperately used the touch of the man that started it all. Without it, the film just comes off as a tired retread of the first movie's chills and thrills.

As the Day of the Dead celebration approaches the barrio of East Los Angeles, the tortured ghost, known in folklore as the Candyman (Tony Todd), returns to bring his family together for a twisted reunion beyond the grave. Forced to confront the horrifying legend of her ancestor, posh gallery owner Caroline McKeever (former Baywatch beauty Donna D'Errico) must come face to face with the evil who has destroyed her past and now wants to threaten her future.

Director Turi Meyer, who has also had a hand in TV episodes of Mutant X, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Angel, basically retaces the steps of original director Bernard Rose. For his part, probably the only way producers could convince Todd to return, was to promise him a co-producer credit. The script from Meyer and Al Septien is not at all scary. In fact, the whole film plays for camp's sake, than horror. It's a shame that a great "monster" like Candyman has been reduced to a pale imatation of his former self.

The DVD offers lackluster bonus material--which given how the film turned out--that's just fine by me. The original trailer, production notes, and cast/crew information, is all you get.

As far as I'm concerned, you should skip this one entirely.
