This is a rather strange offering from Armando De Ossario in which a small group of people supposedly doing zoological research in Africa stumble across an area where mysterious things happened many years ago. Seems that there were sorcerers that come back when the moon is full to do their thing, which seems to be playing drums and sacrificing women. And dancing. Of course, these explorers scoff at all legends and rumors and therefore are fresh meat. Hard to tell, really, what sort of creatures we're dealing with. To join this little "club", apparently you have to get bitten by someone with sharp teeth (leopard or vampire?) and then get your head chopped off, after which it's neatly re-attached with a vine or something & off you go on a killing spree. A good portion of the middle of the film seems to consist of the leopard/vampire woman & her recent converts bounding through the jungle in slow motion and beckoning to each other, saying "come". Yee ha. The risen sorcerers are rather creepy though, and some of the atmosphere & scenery is rather nice. Hard to say what exactly is going on here though, although it's not terrible, just a bit confusing. "The Blind Dead" series was pretty much the highlight of the director's career, and not many of the other films I've seen by him hold a candle to that. "Night of the Sorcerors" is now available on DVD mastered in high definition (!) and the print looks wonderful...if only it were a better movie. 5 out of 10.
