   In a town of New Orleans
                        when a Mardi Gras party happens an author
                        named Phillip Purcell (Michael Culkin)
                        talks about his novel on the Candyman
                        (Tony Todd) on if he's real or a myth by
                        looking in the reflection on his book and
                        calling his name 5 times then entertains
                        the audience with someone attacking him
                        with a hook for all fun. But however, the
                        Candyman kills him later on in a washroom
                        after a disturbed man named Ethan Tarrant
                        (William O'Leary) tells him what he has
                        done.Then Ethan's sister Annie (Kelly Rowan)
                        is teaching at school and says the
                        Candyman's name 5 times and thinks
                        nothing of it. Later on the Candyman
                        shows up in her apartment and kills her
                        boyfriend Paul McKeever (Timothy Carhart)
                        and then later on telling her that she's
                        pregnant with his baby and continues to
                        kill her loved one's one by one as she
                        tries to get help but people only think
                        that the Candyman is just a story and
                        that Annie is the suspect to all the
                        murders going on.
 
   The beginning  shows
                            a nice beginning with a supporting character Phillip Purcell  talking about the Candyman
                            whether he's a myth or not and staring
                            into his reflective novel saying his name
                            5 times which leaves a nice impression to
                            the story.The sequel was
                            again average but still a passable story.
                            It showed a nice moment about the
                            Candyman impregnating someone he tries to
                            control this time as it was something
                            new.
 There's a good moment with him  walking down the street and Ethan Tarrant  coming up to him and acting
                            obnoxious about the Candyman being
                            unleashed which looked very well done and Phillip  getting cocky about it
                            all.
 We have a good shot with Phillip  in a washroom and then a power flicking
                            as he reacts well getting a little
                            nervous. There's also a good shot on the Candyman standing behind a doorway to
                            the washroom and then a nice approach on
                            him behind Phillip  about to do
                            him in.
 There's many good discussions between Annie and Ethan with her  growing impatient
                            with him at a table and getting
                            aggressive and later on Annie losing control and smashing a glass wall
                            which looked intense.
 We have a nice moment with Annie   in a classroom going to the mirror and
                            saying the Candyman's name 5 times which
                            was strongly done on her not taking
                            it seriously and almost being hesitant to
                            say it the fifth time. We also have a
                            good shot on a window with a bee on the
                            window then falling to the ground and
                            dying and then a good shot on Annie  with Matthew Ellis  touching
                            her shoulder.
 There's a good presence with Candyman  coming up to Annie  with his
                            deadly speaking towards her and her
                            sobbing and acting scared which looked
                            good.
 We have a great shot on the Candyman  picking
                            up Paul McKeever  with his hook with a good moment on him chocking in pain.
 There's a great emotional moment with Paul                        telling Pam Carver  on what had
                            happened with good camera shots on each
                            of their faces when this happens.
 We have a good scene between Annie and Honore Thibideaux showing her some stuff of painting
                            pictures and discussing about the
                            Candyman. There's also a good shot on Honore  going to a blanket where there's
                            some bees on it and removes it with the Candyman  suddenly rising up and Honore   looking
                            shocked along with nice effects shots on
                            bees swarming over his face which looked
                            quite creepy.
 We have a nice emotional moment between Ethan and Annie  having
                            another discussion at the table.
 There's a perfect moment with Detective Ray
                            Levesque acting obnoxious and
                            abusive towards Ethan  by
                            throwing him around and trying to force
                            him to say the Candyman's name at a
                            mirror and then there's a good shot on the Candyman himself  behind Ray  with a hook
                            and Ethan  is freaking out.
                            Then we have a good shot on Ethan   running and then being shot down which
                            looked great.
 There's a good emotional moment with Annie  getting demanding with Octavia Tarrant about situations as she does
                            well crying along with the Candyman  coming up behind Octavia and putting
                            his hook near her face.
 We spot a good shot and weak reaction on Octavia   crawling on the floor and
                            pressing an alarm after being stabbed by
                            the Candyman.
 There's a perfect shot on Annie   running
                            down a fleet of stairs showing great
                            energy to this.
 We have a perfect moment with the Candyman   coming up to Annie and convincing her to
                            come to him and explains his past life.
                            There's great intense shots on him during
                            a flashback moment being tortured to
                            death in a field making it hard to watch.
 We have some terrific shots on Annie  smashing things in a room trying to find
                            something and screaming with shots on the
                            graffiti walls.
 There's many great shots on a broken down
                            house with her trying to struggle from
                            some muddy water with pieces of wood from
                            the house tearing apart.
 A good shot on her  rising her
                            head staring coldly towards the Candyman  while holding a hand mirror.
 Bottom line: The sequel was                          again average but still a passable story.                          It showed a nice moment about the                          Candyman impregnating someone he tries to                          control this time as it was something                          new.
 However, when someone called the
                              Candyman's name it seemed too obvious
                              that he was going to show up right away
                              to do a killing as in the first film only
                              once or twice his name was called through
                              a mirror and making his appearance very
                              mysterious. But again this is a sequel so
                              we all know what's going to happen
                              anyways.
 We have a great ending when you think the
                              nightmare is almost over it just about
                              isn't that involves the Candyman's child.
                              I'm not saying one way or the other what
                              happens in the ending so you have to
                              watch it yourself but it does make you
                              want to watch part 3 for sure.
 We also spot some flashbacks on how the
                              Candyman got his name and how he was
                              killed too making it hard to watch but
                              well done at the same time.
 
 The acting is
                            quite good as Tony Todd (Candyman) still
                            showed his evil charm 
                            with his deep and deadly voice. He knows
                            this part inside out for sure.Kelly Rowan (Annie Tarrant) knew her stuff in the
                            film showing great aggressions when she
                            needed to and knew how to cry along with
                            her other emotions whenever this was
                            necessary. She was a true character
                            actress.
 William O'Leary (Ethan Tarrant) was another great
                            actor who knew how to act disturbed and
                            obnoxious about the Candyman legend in
                            the film. His part was very necessary for
                            a sequel without a doubt and didn't let
                            us down with what he had to do.
 David
                                Gianopoulos (Detective Ray
                            Levesque) was perfect as a nasty
                            detective in the film showing a
                            believeable demanding attitude and was
                            convincing when he had to act violent
                            too especially throwing someone around and getting demanding.
 Joshua Gibran Mayweather (Matthew Ellis) really
                            brought on his charm as a teenage
                            highschool student showing lots of good
                            aura and energy about him. Two thumbs up.
 Timothy Carhart (Paul McKeever) showed a great
                            bubbly attitude to his part as the
                            boyfriend to the lead actress in the film
                            acting full of character to his part and
                            we can never forget him. He brought
                            everything to his part and showing a good
                            sense of humor too.
 Veronica Cartwright (Octavia Tarrant) never let me
                            down with any show I've seen her in and
                            was perfect with someone who had a dark
                            secret about her ex-husband and was
                            perfect on her sobbing before her last
                            performance in the film.
 
 There's a camera shot
                            looking down on Kelly Rowan as
                            we nearly see a breast shot on her but
                            her arms are covering most of her
                            breasts. 
 The Candyman stabs
                            many of his victims through the chest
                            with his hook and plenty of bloodA person's face is devoured by bees
 The Candyman's hand is sawed off during a
                            flashback scene and boy is it ever
                            graphic looking
 The Candyman falls apart piece by piece
 
 We have many wonderful
                            chanting sounds throughtout the
                            suspenseful moments of the film along
                            with the odd nice organ music which is
                            composed by Philip Glass who did
                            the music for the first film and still
                            has the perfect touch in whatever he does
                            for the story.
