Voodoo Black Exorcist

Vudú sangriento

1974 ·1h 28m · ★ 3.6 (15)

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.

Why it matters

A lurid blend of occult voodoo horror and tropical thriller, Voodoo Black Exorcist is a cult oddity that fuses Caribbean mysticism with 1970s exploitation flair.

  • Features a rare voodoo-themed monster in the form of a resurrected priest whose shifting form blends mummified creepiness with blaxploitation muscleman vibes.
  • Practical effects and makeup lean into pulp charm, especially the grotesque prune-faced mummy moments.
  • For fans of Caribbean supernatural horror and funky, low-budget genre hybrids that don’t play by the usual rules.
  • The ocean liner setting adds claustrophobic tension, mixing classic locked-room horror with exotic voodoo mythology.
