What to Expect

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh takes place in New Orleans which is a super cool setting for horror. The gothic atmosphere, the architecture, the swamps, the folklore and religion.

Farewell to the Flesh is a carnival expression meaning to be carefree.

Half of this movie takes place during Mardi Gras where we see wealthy tourists and carefree locals drinking, eating and having fun. The other half takes place in the real New Orleans where impoverished locals fight for daily survival. And this half of course is where Candyman thrives.

Critic Reviews:

For those inquisitive about this franchise, check out Candyman first. Once you realise how underrated that film is and how it really doesn’t need any further explanation, you can make a choice as to whether to follow up with this or not.

– Apocalypse Later

The problem is, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh isn’t scary, and when it attempts to be, we find ourselves frustrated by the filmmakers’ lack of interest in figuring out the story’s central folklore.

– Deep Focus Review

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh is very good and I think it deserves a second look. Maybe watch it after the original to get the feel of why it is so good.
