Candyman: Day Of The Dead is not worth reviewing. A lackluster
plot with a poor slasher atmosphere not accustomed to the Candyman films.
Too much nudity, too much gore, and not enough story. Tony Todd continues
his chilling portrayal of the Candyman, but it is missing something.
To be blunt, there's not enough style, if any at all. With Clive
Barker off the project, the quality has gone down the drain along with
pretty much everything else. Director Turi Meyer, aside from some
episodes of Angel & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has never directed
anything of value which includes this film. This was a direct-to-cable
sequel (HBO to be exact), and it is painfuly clear why. It's not
worth paying money to see, and not worth wasting your time over.
There's not even any "Shakespearean" dialogue from the Candyman, and the
artist twist is a bad one. Wsihmaster 2 was at least enjoyable
in a cheesy way where as this disgrace has no redeeming qualities.
What's even worse is that Tony Todd actually executive produced this piece
of garbage! For shame, Candyman, for shame. With a Baywatch
babe as the female lead here, it's no wonder that this was direct-to-cable
- it's the only way they'd get anyone to watch it! If I typed anymore
about this movie, it'd be a waste. |
