Back in Blac,
By
This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream [DVD] (DVD)
An absolute hoot from start to finish, this Blaxploitation riff on Bram Stoker's seminal Gothic horror has William Marshall's African Prince unintentionally offending the original Count Dracula, consequently becoming the titular vampire and running amok in 1970s LA.
The 1973 follow-up 'Scream Blacula Scream' sees the Count resurrected through the power of voodoo; notable only for its casting of the classy Pam Grier, this is a lame and pointless sequel. The of their times 'Not so special' effects and hammy performances ensure these films' status as camp classics; this is somewhat ironic as the films were originally designed to be serious Blaxploitation horror flicks. The DVD includes the original theatrical trailers, which includes all the 'best' bits from the films - so don't make the mistake of watching this first!

Epic Blaxploitation/Vampire Schlock!,
This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream [DVD] (DVD)
I must admit I was indeed very impressed with Blacula (1972) and the follow-up/sequel Scream Blacula Scream (1973) which wasn't not far behind its predecessor. Would strongly recommend this to lovers of horror/cult and fun schlocky movies due to the campiness suggested by the whole idea of 'Mama Walda', voodoo, vampires, and other occult goings on. These films also boast some pretty good stunts and fight sequences, particularly the first one. Once again note that the acting in these two pictures is by far superior to that of the likes of Dolemite, Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song etc. So overall I would say pretty fun and a great film to have a beverage or a smoke to etc. (If you catch my drift, maaaaaaann!)

Black To The Future.,
By
This review is from: Blacula/Scream Blacula Scream [DVD] (DVD)
In 'Blacula' an African prince has a difference of opinion with Dracula over the benefits of slavery so Dracula curses him to a life of the undead and names him 'Blacula', years later in 1970s L.A. Dracula's belongings are bought by 2 gay dudes because of its camp value although how much camp value there is in a dusty old coffin, I'm not too sure, anyway they crack open the coffin and there Blacula is to suck them dry.
In 'Scream Blacula Scream' Blacula is brought back from the dead (or is that the undead?) and enlists a voodoo queen ( the sultry Pam Grier) to lift the vampiric curse while feeding off half of L.A. on the way. Both films are pretty good slices of blaxploitation/ exploitation/ draxploitation or whatever genre you want to file them in, there's some great music, the odd laugh and enough to keep you interested until the finale. Marshall Williams has a voice that shakes your bones and an hour and a half spent in the company of Pam Grier is never time wasted.
