dreary sequel and despite reset the narrative to the tale original location of new orleans ( with flashback to the candyman grisly fate ) . this time around and the heroine discover she relate to the candyman rather than be a re incarnation of his white lover while that say and kelly rowan be no substitute for viriginia madsen . in fact and apart from tony todd titular character ( who even less scary here but and at least and he intelligible ) and michael culkin ill fat professor be the only link to the first film . other than the requisite gore ( and philip glass score ) and again and we have a subplot involve a black child who live in fear of the candyman while additionally and however and we get a bit of irrelevant sleaze ( this be conveniently set during mardi gras ) . the presence of veteran veronica cartwright and matt clark be welcome while predictably and though and they both end up a meat for the candyman hook . while director condon may have start in horror ( this be the only one i have watch and actually ) and he really come into his own when he branch out into other genre and and quite frankly and i wouldn not have bother watch this hadn not he be involve .
