7/10
Actually quite good on it's own terms

Warning: Spoilers
John Abbot is a vampire in the African Jungle who runs a gambling den and feasts on the natives. When things begin to turn bad for him he takes control of a man who discovers his secret and then tries to run off with a woman he fancies.

A much derided film in many circles reveals itself to be an okay little thriller which works more for it's off beat setting then anything else. Sure it's slightly different than most other vampire takes and Abbott is certainly an unsexy vampire, but at the same time it kind of works on it's own terms. High art it's not, a spooky distraction for an hour it is.
