Blacula (1972) is a movie I recently rewatched for the first time in a long time on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows an African Prince who unfortunately meets Dracula himself and is turned into a vampire. Fast forward to "modern day Los Angeles" where Blacula has decided may be a good place for his new home. Watch as Blacula and his unique look and way of dressing tries to fit into the Los Angeles landscape in the early 70s. This movie is directed by William Crain (The Mod Squad Movie) and stars William Marshall (Maverick), Vonetta McGee (Repo Man), Denise Nicholas (In the Heat of the Night) and Thalmus Rasulala (New Jack City). The movie starts off with a wild opening scene with Dracula turning Blacula, which is hilarious and a bit awkward at the same time. Unfortunately, Blacula isn't very menacing or suave and the kill scenes aren't great. However, his females and ghouls are far better done than the main character, both the makeup and acting. Their kill and chase scenes, by his little army, are entertaining. The final corpse scene is very well executed with some good special effects for the time. Overall this is an uneven movie that isn't as well done as it should have been and a below average addition to the genre. I'd score this a 4/10.
