Save your time and watch Firebite...incredible on all fronts. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Michael C After seeing clips of "Blacula" on television over the last thirty or so years, I finally decided to see the movie in its entirety thanks to the great Svengoolie. While the movie is not all that great, it does have moments that make it worth seeing at least once. One of such reasons is the performances by the late Willaim Marshall as the title character and the late Thalmus Rasulala as Dr. Gordon Thomas. Their performances were actually very good. "Blacula" also has some genuinely scary moments. The best being the scene where the cab driver/vampire Juanita Jones (Played by Ketty Lester.) attacks and kills Sam the morgue attendant. The scene where Dr. Thomas exhumes the body of one of Blacula's first victims is also well done. One other thing, you have to like a movie that features a cameo by The Hues Corporation. In the end, while "Blacula" is a not a great movie, it does have its moments and is very entertaining. It's worst seeing at least once. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/12/23 Full Review damian l It was good and scary and charming Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member LOL, the funniest R-rated horror parody ever!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member William Crane mostly worked in TV, but we always will have him to thank for directing the first African-American vampire movie (and the first Jekyll and Hyde movie for a black audience, Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde). Prince Mamuwalde (William Marshall) represents the Nigerian Ibani African nation as they ask Count Dracula (Charles Macaulay) to help stop slavery. Instead, Dracula laughs in his face and tells him he's going to enslave the proud black man's wife Luva (Vonetta McGee, The Great Silence). Mamuwalde is bitten, turned into a vampire, cursed with the name Blacula and imprisoned in a coffin as his wife dies beside him. Two centuries or so in the future, interior decorators Bobby McCoy (Ted Harris) and Billy Schaffer (Rick Metzler) buy Blacula's coffin at an auction, opening it and unleashing his thirst on the world. At Bobby's funeral, Blacula finds Tina Williams (McGee), who looks exactly like his dead wife. As the vampire kills and turns people, he also begins to convince his wife's reincarnation that they must spend the rest of eternity together. Blacula is a romantic and that — along with his dignity — makes him a vampire who stands the test of time. Crane worked hard to keep the movie as authentic to the black experience as possible, changing Blacula's name from Andrew Brown to Mamuwalde and the unique concept of him being an African prince before he got his fangs. I'm all for this movie. They should have made ten sequels. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
