Candyman 2

As the title suggests, we embark on a journey into vegetarianism, specifically bee products, or Sweets to the Sweet. Mirrors serve as canvases intended to either frighten or deceive the audience into thinking nothing will happen, while Glass continues his unsettling path. Occasionally, there are amusing attempts at gratuitous scares, and Tony Todd appears as Captain Hook with a subcutaneous hive and ominously milky eyes. True, New Orleans during Mardi Gras isn't the spray-painted concrete of Chicago's Cabrini-Green, but as a setting for the Honeyman's new stage, it fulfills its purpose. I don’t want to be nitpicky, but what kind of elbow flexibility must Candyman have to get the hook at that angle, as seen through the bodies of those who gave bravado speeches in front of the mirror?
