Details Release Date: Mar 17, 1995; Rated: R; Length: 93 Minutes; Genre: Horror; With: Kelly Rowan and Tony Todd

CANDYMAN: FAREWELL TO THE FLESH (R) The return of Candyman (Tony Todd), the tall, black, hook-handed slasher who looks like a depressed Eurotrash model. This cloddish sequel undermines its revenge-of-the-repressed premise with racist scare tactics: Whenever it wants to fake the audience into thinking the kill-er's around, it simply cuts to a shot of...another black man.
