2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

JohnHowardReid Standard cheapo horror fare with innocents wandering around by themselves in horror-infested old mansions, this entry was obviously filmed in haste on a very limited budget. Admittedly, some of the make- up and horror effects are genuinely terrifying, but often these artifices look both cheap and obvious. On the other hand, Marshall makes an imposing Blacula, and some of the women are rather attractive. The director does what he can with the rather slight and trite script which serves mainly as an excuse to hang the threads on. However, one of the plot's ideas - although derived from Stephen King's "Salem's Lot", does have a suspensefully original twist. The film's editor has obviously spent a lot of time trying to liven things up. And the music score goes all out too!

david-sarkies The one thing that I dislike about my video store is that is seems to have all the crappy sequels to the movies, but not the originals. If they did have the originals, then most likely they have been stolen, which really sucks. I went looking for the movie Blackula, and landed up with this piece of garbage.The plot is pathetic and simply stupid and the acting is annoying. Blackula was cursed by Dracula to live with his name (and it is supposed to be a horror, not a comedy). Some discontented voodoo guy, who was denied a good position in the cult, decides to get his revenge buy resurrecting Blackula, and then he goes on a killing rampage, only to be killed by the voodoo priestess who only minutes before was conducting a ritual to fix him up.Basically I thought that this movie was too long, too boring, and really to stupid to have really been made. Maybe the original is just as bad, but the thing with the original is that it is a black exploitation movie, this is simply a cheap rip off trying to capitalise on the original.

MARIO GAUCI The revived Prince Mamuwalde yearns to be cured of his bloodsucking habits and, to this end, seeks the help of a voodoo-practicing young woman. The raison d'etre behind this inferior sequel (directed by the man behind the two "Count Yorga" movies) to a surprisingly successful "Blaxploitation" take on the vampire myth only comes to the fore during the last fifteen minutes of the film; the rest is taken up by standard thrills, even more humdrum detection and, hilariously, copious use of – no pun intended – colorful slang: at one point, 'Blacula' himself is described as "an interesting dude"; met by a "What's happenin'?" greeting when he overhears the intentions of one of his newly-fanged acolytes to go against his direct orders – who also pleads with his master to tell him if he looks good now that he can no longer cast a reflection in the mirror!; and dismissed as an alcoholic hallucination by an inebriated partygoer with a cry of "Shiiiiiit!" As intimated earlier, the pacing is a bit off for most of the film's running time and, while William Marshall is as commanding in his role as the first time round, the welcome appearances of Pam Grier (as Blacula's would-be savior) and an unrecognizable Bernie Hamilton (as a tramp whose actions set the narrative in motion) do not help matters much.

Spuzzlightyear An interesting and, dare I say it, better-then-the-original follow-up to Blacula. Where the first was essentially set-up, this is dynamite pay-off. William Marshall and his team of phantom vampires are generally creepy this time (thanks to a director who's been there before) and the story presents an interesting take on the vampire story with Voodoo elements combined. Pam Grier is an expert on the occult, and agrees, with some heavy reservations mind you, to take on Mr. Blacula and tries to rid his little problem with the help of voodoo dolls! If this sounds silly, it probably is, but it's presented quite interestingly and with a lot of style that the cheesiness isn't too obvious. Quite a little surprise.
