7/10
Letdown
18 October 2017
This starts very strong, being a much tighter and serious movie than the first. This feels like real horror. But the wheels fall off due to missing scenes and a literal unfinished ending. I guess Sam Z Arkoff, the studio head at American International Pictures (AIP), put less money into this sequel, despite the success of the original. That was the practice then with exploitation franchises (and the penny-saving Hollywood films of 2017).

Everything considered, its an OK watch. Not as good as the first Blackula and not even required viewing like Black Caesar's fabulous sequel "Hell Up In Harlem". But if you are forgiving in the mood for entertaining 70s cheese that is quite strong, check out SBS.
