A true sequel In order to get what is going on here you need a bit of background, like a true sequel is supposed to demand of you. However, it does build a lot of lore for the previous movies, as a sequel is supposed to do as well. This makes this a worthy inclusion. Tony does a lot with the little he is given, and the other characters are good enough. It is not the strongest entry in the universe of the Candyman, but it is still recommended to fans of the series.
