Movie Reviews of Scream, Blacula, Scream
Movie Review: An impressive sequel to the classic blaxploitation original
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, Scream, Blacula, Scream is every bit as good as Blacula. Rather than offering a pedestrian rehash of the whole vampirism story of the original, the sequel throws another powerful force, that of voodoo, into the mix and gives the film a whole new direction. William Marshall is just as good as before in the title role, and he meets up with a worthy possible antagonist in Pam Grier, who plays the gifted voodoo priestess he seeks out for help. Blacula, resurrected in his undead state with no further possibility of reclaiming the modern incarnation of his beloved bride, now seeks to break the curse that has made him a bloodthirsty, yet exceedingly cool, pariah on society. That doesn't mean he's not going to keep killing people and turning them into vampires in the meantime, however, so expect more jugular action as this film winds its way to a conclusion.
If you've seen the first film, you know Blacula just didn't wake up and return to his vampire ways. It had to take something extraordinary to put that bag of bones back together - something like, say, a voodoo ritual. The local voodoo cult just so happens to be divided after the leader dies without naming a successor. The dead high priestess' son Willis (Richard Lawson) claims the top position, but everyone else defers to Lisa (Pam Grier). Willis wants revenge, and he finds what he thinks is the perfect instrument in the form of the resurrected Blacula. Of course, nobody tells Blacula what to do, and Willis is immediately made the first of the vampire's new minions (and he is far from happy when he learns he can no longer admire his good looks and unique fashion sense in the mirror). A number of vampiric murders ensue, drawing the critical eye of the local police, but Blacula sets his sights on Lisa once he realizes that her voodoo gifts may hold the power to free him of his horrible curse. Her boyfriend Justin (Don Mitchell), a former cop, is the first to put all the clues together, and all parties collide in the film's concluding scenes. Will Blacula be freed of his dreadful curse?
Scream, Blacula, Scream lacks some of the humor of the first film, and it doesn't really try as hard to scare the audience, either. Even still, I enjoyed this film as much as I did the original. It's really an impressive sequel, coming only a year after Blacula singlehandedly brought the blaxploitation horror subgenre to life. Pam Grier fans will be disappointed if they expect to see the bad action star of Foxy Brown and other films, but the character of Blacula should satisfy most of your butt-kicking needs. Personally, I think the filmmakers should have gone with the alternate title Blacula is Beautiful, but this is still a must-have blaxploitation horror film that looks and sounds better than ever thanks to modern technology.
Summary of Scream, Blacula, Scream
Blacula lives and only the legendary Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) has the power to deep-six his reign of terror. William Marshall is magnificent (Los Angeles Times) as the noble African prince turned bloodthirsty fiend in this hair-raising sequel to the terrifying hit Blacula! This time it s voodoo power versus vampire fury when Willis (Richard Lawson) the son of the late high priestess seeks revenge on the cultists who have chosen his foster sister Lisa (Grier) as their new leader. Hoping to curse Lisa Willis unwittingly resurrects Blacula s earthly remains and lets loose the Prince of Darkness and his freaked-out army of the undead!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 027616902191 Manufacturer No: 1005990Similar DVD Movies
