That was an excellent one.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

one of my absolute favorites!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Fortunately, this cult horror movie is nowhere near as bad as its title suggests, nor is it really a blaxploitation film in the proper sense of the word, rather it is a typical reworking of the vampire genre. Here we see an African Prince of Darkness who turns up in America biting people's necks as his kind usually do, only he is not happy being cursed to walk forever in darkness, he wants out. How can he achieve this? A voodoo exorcism, and he has found the priestess he hopes will perform it, if he can convince her not only that he could never harm her but that he is really a thoroughly decent chap who has no free will. How can it not be so if he despises what he does? This is in stark contrast to the pleasure he exhibits when murdering a couple of pimps, but heck, if you call the guy a faggot, what else can you expect?There are complications of course, and these are entirely of his own making, he has left so many bodies in such a small geographical area in such a short period of time that even the Keystone Cops would figure out something big was happening in that mysterious house in the 'hood. The final scene sees the police turning up at the house to do battle with the powers of darkness, but this isn't so much a shoot-out as a stake-out. All good clean fun, but if this one scares you, whatever you do, don't watch "The Omen".

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.

This follow up to 'Blacula' really doesn't quite deliver what it should. While the first film is by no means perfect, it is highly entertaining and quite well paced. 'Scream Blacula Scream' howls 'cash-in', basically being a carbon copy of the original (myth versus science / voodoo versus science) with the addition of Pam Grier. One might expect Pam's role to be one of a bad ass chick sent down to kick Blacula's ass, but no, sadly she is wrongly cast as a fairly dull damsel in distress.The pacing of the film is altogether incredibly sluggish - indeed, the most is made out of some of the spooky set pieces, but this feels like a dragged out 45 minute TV show with bigger ambitions than it could actually deliver. There is a vast amount of tedious filler - not that the first film didn't heavily feature musical performances, but these were at least were rather fun.The ending itself seems to also sum up the film; it just stops really, after the set 'movie length' has been covered it sinks into a severe anti-climax. The director and cast cannot have been proud of this effort which is best avoided. Watching the trailer will sum up the film, and you'll get to see (most) of the highlights and then have time to watch a more decent film!

I just bought "Scream, Blacula, Scream" from '73 at Wal-Mart for $5.00 dollars. I LIKE IT! I already bought the original Blacula several years ago but, I had never seen the sequel until today. I thought it was done rather well. I fully enjoyed the film. William Marshall is VERY convincing as a scary vampire who is evil as sin. In a way, two films of this nature is enough for William Marshall; no need to drag-it-out and over-stay your welcome. I feel two movies was enough. In considering that the film is that of the early 70s with little special effect abilities, I still say it was done well enough for any horror fan to admire. I am STOKED that I bought this DVD.. Prince Mamuwalde / Count Blacula is kool... He's a strange, scary dude... Cheers....MR.BILL, RaleighNOTE:I do, however, think that the ending scene in the original film was more satisfying than that of the sequel...
