I am shocked that I have never sat down to watch this.\u00a0 Let’s see what we have.<\/p>\n

It starts off with Count Dracula having a drink with Mamuwalde and his wife Luva.\u00a0 Dracula doesn’t want to end trading, talks some jive about Luva and how pretty she is, and Mamuwalde ain’t having that.\u00a0 So a fight ensues, and 3 guys take on Mamuwalde, and one eventually grabs a pot to bash over Mamu’s head, but it is such a bad stunt.\u00a0 Then Dracula has like 6 bitches all come for Luva, and they are all vampires, but that’s not the unbelievable part.\u00a0 No, the fact that a black woman just stood there and allowed these undead white bitches to come at her and she didn’t fight back is unbelievable to me.\u00a0 Dracula bites Mamuwalde’s neck and he placed a curse on him, which….no shit.\u00a0 “You shall be ….\u00a0Blacula!”\u00a0 This is pretty messed up.\u00a0 Dracula locks Blacula in a coffin and is going to make Luva watch and listen until she dies.\u00a0 That’s pretty badass.<\/p>\n

So this film is the 70’s through and through, and that has it’s pros and potential cons.\u00a0 If you’re precious snowflake that can’t handle offensive words, this isn’t for you.\u00a0 This film would absolutely shatter you.\u00a0 N bombs are launched with ease as are the F words, and no I do not mean fuck.\u00a0 This is actually at it’s core, a love story.\u00a0 Yeah, it’s true.\u00a0 Mamuwalde finds a girl named Tina who looks identical to Luva, and they are played by the same actress.\u00a0 Hollywood magic!!\u00a0 The death scenes were 70’s level schlock, not bad, not good.\u00a0 I really hated the screaming.\u00a0 Like bitches, tone that shit down!!!\u00a0 I had to lower the volume due to the shrillness of it.\u00a0 And I know, gotta have a scream queen, but there ie s a line in the sand you don’t need to cross.<\/p>\n

The story is good, and longtime horror fans can surmise how it will end, but it may surprise some of you, in\u00a0a good\u00a0way.\u00a0 Overall, this is one of those films that you have heard referenced in the past.\u00a0 I suspect that a lot of my readers haven’t seen it, and that is a shame.\u00a0 I do believe it is on Starz, and you can get like a week trial if interested, or you know, hop on Amazon and order it.\u00a0 I liked it.\u00a0 It is something I would watch again.\u00a0 The 2 male leads were very good.\u00a0 Skillet was probably my favorite character.\u00a0 I also loved the female taxi driver.\u00a0 She was funny as hell.\u00a0 I would say that there is more to like than to not like.\u00a0 I should point out that there is a Dr. Gordon in this film, and fans of Saw may appreciate that.<\/p>\n

William Marshall was awesome and had great facial hair.\u00a0 Seriously though, look at this man!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rating: 5.7\u00a0 – I had a good time, I would watch again, but I wasn’t in love with it.\u00a0 Worth it though.<\/p>\n
