If you're trying to be the king of voodoo, don't bring the bones of Prince Mamuwalde back to life. Maybe voodoo queen Mama Loa knew what she was doing when she chose Lisa Fortier (Pam Grier) as her successor instead of her son Willis (Richard Lawson, Poltergeist). Sadly, this movie has murky lighting, bad direction and a dumb story, but no matter what, William H. Marshall gives Blacula a dignity beyond this movie and Pam Grier is, well, Pam Grier. So if we just go with the magical power of this movie's two main actors, it's a success in spite of itself. That said, I fully do not believe in the ending that has Lisa get upset when she sees Blacula take out some policemen. The Medveds claimed that this was the Worst Blaxploitation Movie of All Time. Come on. In a perfect world, we also would have seen Taste the Blood of Blacula, Blacula On Sugar Hill and Blacula Sunday.

Scream Blacula Scream had some entertaining moments, such as whenever some idiot on the street decided to mess with Blacula and got their comeuppance, but even that got old. Everything good in this movie was done better in the first one. The beautiful Pam Greer steals every one of her scenes and makes this movie watchable.

Scream Blacula Scream does better than Blacula at playing up Marshall's magisterial power, but gone is the tragedy that underpinned the original.

PopMatters

Blacula was a drama first and a horror and blaxploitation enterprise after that. Scream Blacula Scream is a blaxploitation horror film that takes its influence not just from its predecessor, but the burgeoning subgenre as the whole.

Rated: 4/10

Creative Loafing

Scream Blacula Scream is a tad more polished than its predecessor but also a tad less fun, with too much time spent on dull or annoying characters.

Rated: 2.5/4

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Blacula becomes something of a slave-master, even as he disdains humans who exploit other humans. 'You made a slave of your sister, and you're still slaves, imitating your slave masters!' he lectures a pair of pimps before tossing them through a window.

Rated: 3/4

Even though it has a few chilling and comical moments, overall it drags and doesn't have much of a bite.
