action

Caroline McKeever is convinced that the Candyman does not exist. So she and her friend call him to prove its non-existence. In the film that follows, there are several murders in which it turns out that Caroline is the descendant of Robitaille. Caroline is therefore suspected by the police of having committed the murders. With the help of a fortune teller, Caroline realizes that she must destroy Candyman's paintings.

A fight ensues in which Caroline manages to kill the Candyman by slitting open his pictures and burning them.

Reviews

“Second sequel to a horror film, which, however, largely denies the conventions of the genre and presents its killer as a serial offender without mythological dimensions. Simple success formulas are thereby fulfilled, but due to the lack of an effective tension dramaturgy, the film only spreads yawning boredom, which even streams of blood have nothing to counteract. "

"Clive Barker's first" Candyman "from 1992 is a small genre classic. "Candyman 2" ('95) already looked bled out, and this third part is just ridiculous: The Bibabutzemann wades in blood. "
