Review of Blacula (1972) by Sean D — 29 Aug 2015
Blacula, is an early '70s film so the credits are 5 seconds long lol. Anyway, I expected this to be a lot better but I was grossly mistaken. The whole film was essentially a crime drama mystery. There wasn't much too it than kill become investigate kill become investigate kill become investigate.
Anyway, I hated a certain something about old Dracula films, every vampire had different skin color in vampire form, now I don't know if that was to show they didn't drink enough blood or not, nowadays the vampire just ages really badly.
Also, what's up with the awkward facial hair that appears in vampire form? I don't get it. The giant eyebrows or weird side burns....I don't know. Anyway, like I said the film is pretty boring and played a lot on the race card, at least in the beginning and was pretty stupid and annoying and may have been an important film tactic back then. But something like that doesn't age well and just appears rediculous in today's modern times, well...let's see if the sequel is any better.
