| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSuperior sequel to the rather silly original helped by stylish direction |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovDirector Condon displays a sure hand with material that could easily have turned out far worse, making this a nicely disturbing piece of work that rises well above the conventions of the genre almost all the way through. |
| Little White LiesSam ThompsonFarewell to the Flesh exhibits a savvy awareness of its own political limitations. |
| Screen RantJack WilhelmiWhile it may still pale in comparison to its predecessor, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh deserves more acclaim. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyThe script is constructed too much like a novel, which slows the pace of the early, establishing sections. Director Bill Condon works too hard to tie all the plot strands into a neat bow. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMostly, however, Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh is content to rely on easy jolts and an overabundance of fake-out scares, rather than hard-earned suspense. It’s never awful, but it also never feels necessary. Mostly, it proves that even the most innovative horror concepts can find ways to spin their wheels. |
| Entertainment WeeklyGlenn KennySince Barker’s baroque prose visions are too complex for the gore-hound market, they’re bound to be watered down into this kind of bilge. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie doesn't develop, alas, with the patience and restraint of the earlier film. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.I just wanted the movie to get to the damn point... |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckCandyman: Farewell to the Flesh is a rather pointless sequel that basically rehashes the story from the first film, with a little desperately added history of the titular character thrown in in an effort to differentiate it from its predecessor. |
