Scream Blacula Scream does better than Blacula at playing up Marshall's magisterial power, but gone is the tragedy that underpinned the original. Go to Full Review J.C. Maçek III PopMatters 04/13/2015
4/10
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. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing 04/04/2015
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) 03/25/2015
3/4
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.

Even though it has a few chilling and comical moments, overall it drags and doesn't have much of a bite. Go to Full Review Bob Bloom Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) 10/12/2003

Incog D Sep 12 Oh boy, this was a stinker. The cast is great on paper and we did get a sequel(even though its standalone) but adding the idea of voodoo elements to an already supernatural plot just doesn't feel right. This movie I can't recommend even for horror movie fans. I find this movie "Distasteful"(quote from the original Blacula movie). See more Michael C 05/25/2024 "Scream Blacula Scream" is not a worthy successor to the original blaxploitation classic. The two best things to say about the movie are the late William Marshall as the title character (of course) and Pam Grier as Lisa Fortier. Beyond that there is not much else to say about this dull and slow moving film. The rest of the movie's characters were just not very compelling. The movie started off very badly in my opinion with how Blacula was brought back to life. How contrived can you get? The main story itself was way too formulaic. The hero of this movie, former Police Officer Justin Carter (Played by the late Don Mitchell.) is convinced a recent string of murders are being committed by a vampire. Nobody including his former boss on the force, Lieutenant Harry Dunlop (Played by a pre-"Hill Street Blues" Michael Conrad.) don't believe him until......how many times have we seen that before? The movie also does not end, it just stops leaving a few unanswered questions. My advice is to skip "Scream Blacula Scream" and instead watch the original. That movie is not perfect, but much more worth your time. See more William R. P 05/19/2024 Just terrible ......................... See more Pure L 12/29/2023 Not as top 5 as the first but still top 5 See more Brent A 08/14/2023 10% rating ... Absolutely waste of time. Not worth seeing. See more Alan C 02/27/2023 Funny as a Svengoolie movie . A great , really bad movie ..... ........................... See more Read all reviews
