Stumbling upon the 1973 movie "Voodoo Heartbeat" (aka "The Sex Serum of Dr. Blake") by random chance here in 2024, I opted to sit down and watch it on account of it being a movie that I had never heard about or watched, obviously. In fact, I wasn't sure what I was in for here, so I sat down to watch director Charles Nizet's movie with no expectations and an open mind.
Writers Charles Nizet and Vernon Broadrick put together a script that failed to capture my interest, much less actually hold my interest throughout the course of the movie. And I have to say that I ended up giving up 20 minutes into the ordeal. But by then director Charles Nizet spent an insane amount of time on showing virtually nothing except robed people wandering around, followed by a naked orgy. There was nothing resembling a storyline or narrative here.
I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress that starred in the movie. And truth be told, that is actually something that I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie.
"Voodoo Heartbeat" was a dumpster fire of a movie, and it is definitely not one that I will be returning to attempt finish watching. An all-time low even for a sexploitation movie.
My rating of "Voodoo Heartbeat" lands on a one out of ten stars.
