An unburied treasures for those of us who love bad film. It's a horror film thematically, and politically and aesthetically, too.
[T]his classic example of blaxploitation does invoke the C-word, but not before ‘camp-eee!’ actually crossed your mind, which is while you’re putting the DVD in the player.
