Candyman continues his adventures caused by mirror activity but the descendant from an old family seems to create a special connection with him.
A sequel to a cult horror that has more merit than one would expect. With a mix of characters that are either poorly sketched or quite well developed, Candyman 2 focuses more on the story and setting than on its horror effects. However, when it comes to the horror aspect, the surplus of jump scares is unwelcome. The authenticity of the New Orleans setting is well-done, evocatively accompanied by the arch-present kingfisher, which at one point becomes just irritating though. The 90's horror vibe is welcome but unfortunately the frequent inconsistencies tear down the story which is not otherwise half bad.
