Transformed into a vampire by Dracula himself, Mamuwalde (William Marshall) an ancient Ibani prince finds himself in Los Angeles two centuries later. Pathologist Gordon Thomas (Thalmus Raulala) investigates the carnage that follows.
To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the Blaxploitation genre, 2021’s film series for Black History Month will showcase a groundbreaking film each Wednesday throughout October.
