Sometimes there are films which are so bad, they are brilliant. Contrary to the title this film is not bad at all, it’s excellent. Grant you, some of the acting is dire and strained but the film is saved with a sympathetic performance from Bernie Casey. It also features a great funky score with horror overtones, some eerie make up from Stan Winston and a dapper dressed pimp complete with cape and cane.
For years I have seen the trailer (check it out below) but never the film. Finally VCI have put it out on DVD. The print is damaged but I would imagine the source wasn’t looked after that well. Who cares when a film is this funky, a great example of blaxploitation from the director of ‘Blacula’. I haven’t enjoyed a film so much in quite a while.
