Appalled by contemporary customs and morals, he begins putting the bite on drug dealers and homosexual antique dealers to help clean things up. Picture was billed as the first black horror film. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
When the film ended, a woman in the row behind me said: “That wasn’t funny at all, it was awfully dry!” Yes, unentertaining blaxploitation, poorly directed and edited. William Marshall (Blacula), originally a stage actor, clearly doesn't understand the mess he's in, so he plays dutifully and with passion. He wasted his energy in a bad movie. But the film was successful, and there was a sequel: Scream, Blacula, Scream.
