campy fun--and SOME reviewers actually gave this a 10!!
If you take this film very seriously, you'll no doubt hate it and turn it off after a few minutes. However, if you have an open mind and are willing to just accept the cheesy aspects of this movie without criticism, then you'll probably find that beneath its silly plot is a moderately interesting horror film/blaxploitation film. My wife thinks I am crazy to have watched it several times (as well as the sequel, SCREAM BLACULA SCREAM), but I think it's a silly little trip back to the 70s and a welcome relief from many movies that take themselves way too seriously.
The sad thing about these two movies is that William Marshall was a really good actor with a beautiful voice--it's a shame he didn't get more starring opportunities in Hollywood other than this, an episode of Star Trek and a few other odd jobs.
