Scream Blacula Scream (1973)

Director: Bob Kelljan
Starring: William Marshall, Don Mitchell, Pam Grier

Synopsis:
Blacula is revived by a vindictive voodoo priest.

Impressions:
Given that Blacula is perhaps my favorite blaxploitation film, you can be sure I was looking forward to seeing the sequel, even though the likelihood of diminishing returns was high. William Marshall continues to impress in the title role and I like how we explore him actually struggling with his curse and trying to find a way to break it. It's also interesting seeing Pam Grier in a role where she is weaker, both physically and emotionally, than what we're used to seeing. That being said, this is still inferior to the original, but if you liked the first film, I think there's enough to make this worth seeing.
