Storyline

The mummy of long dormant, but powerful Caribbean voodoo priest Gatanebo gets revived on a luxury South Seas ocean liner as a big buff bald guy and proceeds to terrorize the passengers. Gatanebo beheads several folks, occasionally reverts back to his prune-faced mummified state, and falls for the ravishing Sylvia, who reminds him of his old flame Kenya.

User Reviews

Cream of Crummy.

Dull and rather clumsily realized tale essentially rehashes the story of The Mummy, although this time around we have a tribal jungle native theme instead of Egyptian royalty(actually, we really just see a bunch of white crackers in unconvincing blackface and Foxy Brown afro wigs).

A crusty old mummy is resurrected on board a luxury liner. The reincarnation of his love from ages ago is among the passengers, and yadda, yadda, yadda. Nut surprisingly, characters begin to get killed, girls start screaming, and everything you expect will happen does happen.

So...is VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST any good?

Oh, Hell-to-the-no.

Still, for all its worth, I have seen worse. I could no sooner recommend this film than I could recommend steel wool as a substitute for chewing gum, but if you watch pictures of this type with any frequency, then I suspect you might find it a tolerable slice of old-school beatdown Eurotrash.
