I think what's most sad about _Candyman 3_ is that the first movie is a horror classic. This was so bad. I stopped caring about half way through. I was so bored by the terrible acting, cliche writing, and muddy plot. The movie stars a Playboy Playmate, do I need to say more?
The movie might have done well if it had focused on Caroline (our lead) being Candyman's great great granddaughter, but it is treated as a detail rather than a major aspect. Instead we get some scumbag cops, irrelevant ties to Dia de Muertos, and a cult of over-the-top goths.
I've seen a lot of bad movie, and there's usually enough for me to still focus and try to follow the story. Not here, the layers and layers of awfulness drained the life out of me until I had to tune out for my own safety.
The only highlight was Rena Riffel. If the movie had just been her in a thong, I'd give it a 9/10.
What a huge disappointment for anyone who loves _Candyman_. Save yourself some time and go watch that one. Tony Todd deserved better than this.
