The premise

After an aging voodoo priestess dies, her arrogant son Willis Daniel's believes he is next in line to lead. He is outraged when Lisa, his mother's adopted apprentice is chosen as the leader. Willis seeks revenge by reviving the African prince Blacula — but soon finds that he cannot control him.

Horror Vault's take

When the leader of a powerful voodoo order passes away, a bitter act of revenge sets an ancient vampiric evil loose on the world once more. The legendary African prince Blacula rises again — and those responsible quickly learn that some forces refuse to be commanded. With Pam Grier bringing fierce presence to the role of the gifted priestess caught in the crossfire, this stylish blaxploitation sequel delivers gothic menace with serious flair.
