Calificaciones y opiniones

The first Candyman is a great film that addresses urban legend and racial tension in a creatively interesting way. It is one of the best horror films to come out of the 90s. It had great acting from Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. I recommend it to any fan of horror cinema. The follow up does offer more history into the character of the Candyman with the back story and also features another great performance by Tony Todd... but the story and acting from the female lead is a step down.

Si bien esta entrega no supera a su antecesora y los elementos que nos otorga son básicamente los que ya nos ha trasmitido la primera cinta, lo nuevo que nos dan como dato es el origen en sí de este gran personaje, como lo es en este caso Candyman... Es un origen bastante interesante y en cierta forma hace que el personaje mantenga de buena manera su esencia. ¡¡¡Gran origen, y esta vez más desarrollado e interesante de lo ya visto!!!

This sequel was cool mainly bc it gives the backstory behind who candyman was and what happened to him but the original should be on here that is one of my most favorite movies!!! Watch the original first. 👌
