      Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) A poorly made horror/voodoo film. May 5, 2023 Full Review Brian Juergens CampBlood.org While it may have been spurred by the blaxploitation craze, the sensibilities of this odd gothic horror movie owe more to Black Sabbath than to Blackula. Rated: 6/10 Feb 4, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Different but eventually comes off the rails. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this movie. It has a beautiful staircase, and Xernona Clayton being a serene, dignified woman. Itâ(TM)s a fun movie. The only bad part is a nine minute voodo dance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Exceeded expectations with screams, snakes, voodoo and cave dancing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for a cheesy scary voodoo movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A few creepy moments with a touch of humor. In spite of its flaws, it was an interesting take on the haunted house genre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun 70's werewolf movie. Different. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
