The Candyman returns once again to torment and kill a distant relative for further undisclosed or vague reasons.This time it's Baywatch alumni Donna D'Errico taking the lead and boring the hell out of us for the films 90 minute duration.Granted this is a marginal step up from Farewell To The Flesh (1995) but still spotlights why the Candyman franchise died such a death.I've never understood how Tony Todds Candyman became so iconic, how do people place him alongside the likes of Freddy, Leatherface and Jason when he had just 3 rather mediocre films to his name.I'd like to see Candyman reborn, whether a 4th film or a reboot I don't mind but we a) Need Todd to remain the titular role and b) New writers.The Good: Wade Williams Donna D'Errico is far better here than I've seen her before The Bad: Plot is still pretty messy Things I Learnt From This Movie: Remaking the origin scene and making it different makes about as much sense as nipples on men Donna D'Errico is allergic to bra's

The first film was marvellous, the second film was silly, and this third film, with the title not to be confused with the George A. Romero zombie film, I knew it was going to be terrible, being a straight to DVD release and getting the lowest critic ratings. Basically the Maxican holiday Day of the Dead, which celebrates to remember friends and family members who have died, is going on in Los Angeles, and the Candyman (Tony Todd) is still being called for by foolish people calling his name five times in the mirror. Art gallery owner Caroline McKeever (Donna D'Errico) is finding herself defending the memory of black slave Daniel Robitaille, the man who was tortured by villagers with his right hand sawed off, covered in honey and stung to death by bees, she will snap at anyone who speaks badly about him because of the legends and the previous reported murders. Caroline is in fact a distant relative of the Candyman, so when she calls his name five times in the mirror he does not want to kill her, he says it is her destiny for her to come with him so he will no longer be alone in hell, and will kill anyone associated with her until she does. Authorities get involved when the murders occur around her and she is accused of some involvement, and when the situation increases bigoted Lieutenant Detective Samuel Kraft (Wade Andrew Williams) is prepared to do anything to stop the killings, even if it means not bringing in Caroline alive, of course in the end she finds some way to defeat the Candyman. Also starring Nick Corri/Jsu Garcia as David de la Paz, Alexia Robinson as Tamara, Mike Moroff as Tino, Mark Adair-Rios as Miguel Velasco, Lupe Ontiveros as Abuela and Jud Meyers as Fitz. Todd is now just repetitive with his familiar lines in that deep voice and no longer creepy with the hook for a hand, the deaths are not as bloody as I remember from before either, this is definitely much more pointless and ridiculous than the previous sequel, it is predictable, it has a stupid story, and it just feels like rubbish, an awful horror sequel. Poor!

Candyman 3 Not big fan of the Candyman series, I gave first and sequel 5 out of 10 for both movies.This movie is very annoying, it dose not connect with any of the other movies, expect this time Candyman is going after his great Granddaughter.as she dose the deed by saying his name 5 times, he then start to killing people, soon she makes people believe in the Candyman. At first she not believe it at all but soon start believe and he accused from killing, just like first story. I did like how they ended the story. not killing the Candyman but killing the myth The deaths were same as the last two movie, not gory but a little bloody at time, The acting was really poor and some of the effect, echoing effect really annoyed me.

'Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers', 'A Nightmare On Elm Street 2', 'Childs Play 3', and 'Candyman 3' all have something in common.If you're thinking that they're all sequels, you are right, but there's something else.All of these movies are examples of underrated sequels.I liked all of these movies and I don't care what other people have to say about them.I thought that 'Candyman 3: Day of the Dead' was a pretty decent horror movie with another groundbreaking performance by Tony Todd.Nobody will ever play a better Candyman than him.That's a fact that we horror fans should know.I haven't seen the 2nd movie yet, but I do have to say that the first and the third were pretty good.Maybe the third wasn't as good as the first, but I still found it to be a good movie.After you're finished reading my review, I want you to go to a mirror and say Candyman 5 times.If he shows up and tries to kill you, then it serves you right for thinking that this movie was totally pointless.If the Candyman franchise wants to be really popular, then there needs to be a 4th installment.Let's hope that Tony Todd is willing to play Candyman again.
