Summary: EVEN MORE FABULOUS AFRO
Review: The follow-up to BLACULA.I find these films to be a lot of fun. Most probably wouldn't want to own them forever, but some of us really appreciate good trash when we see it, you know? Mike

Summary: INFERIOR SEQUEL TO BLACULA, STILL ENJOYABLE!
Review: The success of "BLACULA" all but guarenteed the inevitable sequel which arrived a year later. Sequels are usually never as good as the original and that is certainly true here. Though this is an inferior film to "BLACULA", it is still quite enjoyable and benefits from the strong presence of lead actor William Marshall who again plays that "strange dude" Mamuwalde, aka "you-know-who". I liked the ending of the first film a lot (denied his lady love a second time, he walks out into the sun committing suicide) so was somewhat disappointed seeing him return in the first place. But having him trying to free himself from the curse/ slavery of vampirism by using the voodoo power of Pam Grier was a good idea. John Carradine used science to try and cure him of the curse in Universal's fine "HOUSE OF DRACULA" (and failed), so it was interestring that Mamuwalde would use a black art to combat a black art, so to speak. The anamorphic widescreen picture is very good and the mono sound quite pleasing. Like the original "BLACULA", there are no extra's but for the original theatrical trailer. To close, if you liked "BLACULA", you should enjoy this sequel. -George Bauch.

Summary: superb
Review: This film is beautiful,I love it. William Marshall is truly superb as Prince Mamuwalde he is one of the three best actors to take on the cloak of our beloved Dracula,the others being Frank Langella and the incomperable Klaus Kinski. Leonard Maltin is stupid to rate this film down.

Summary: Badula
Review: William Marshall should've been a big star. He was trained in one of England's acting schools. But as a man of color in the 70s, he had to take roles like this. The first Blacula was excellent. But this one wasn't. It was too predictable. The other shocking thing about this movie is the production value. After the first Blacula became a hit, you would think that the studios would have put more money into its sequels. But the studis didn't. And while Pam is one of my favorite 70s actress, this movie wasn't her best. Pass!!

Summary: Dude, Why Did You Come Back Here?
Review: William Marshall's Blacula is back with a little tinge of tongue-in-cheek direction. Cool dude first gives a bite to a poor fool, who brings him back from a bunch of bones someone in the original must have collected off the screen. Now, the hell's gate is open again.... No, wait. Before Blacula continues to taste blood, the cool vampire, after opening credit, gives a piece of advice to the said victim # 1 who, realizing that the mirror can no longer reflect his body, cries, "Man gotta see his face!" That poor guy still intends to go to party tonight after he was turned an undead zombie, and blames Blacula for making him miserable! Now you get it? "Scream, Blacula, Scream" suffers from these moments, and you don't take it seriously. Sometimes it is unintentionally funny, particulary when cool Blacula confronts two guys on the street, who are too disrespectful to him and his cape. But as to chill, it is less than the original, and inconsistent feelings of the film -- it opens with eerie atomosphere, then jumps to soul music opening credit -- clearly are doing harm to the whole movie. The last scene of fighting between zombies (with make-up you never see) and police squad (holding white stakes in their hands) leaves me wondering whether it was meant for serious suspense, or just for a joke. About Pam Grier there is not much to say. She plays a voodoo priestess, but is miscast, being always terrified -- no tough image of other blaxploitation films -- and still worse is that she got the third billing in the film. So, basically this is not her film; she is given a supporting role, and it's not a good one. Strictly for fans of the genre.

Summary: I'm sorry, I haven't any ........ bread
Review: Yeah right, two pimps gonna take out Blacula? Think again. Blacula is one cool cat with the ladies and is solid as a 70's soul vampire. Pam Grier as a voodoo princess is hot to trot, but no nude scenes in this one. Dynamite fashions galore in this one brother. I ain't jivin', dis be the flick to see on a dark night wit yo woman. If she don't look as sweet as Pam, then pretend.
