The Clone Wars (The Exorcist)- Abby aka The Black Exorcist)

There's another one. Good Lord! 
I mean, Good Pazzuzu.

Today's film is a scarcity because of both its age and a lawsuit. Curious? Too bad, you've read this far already. This is...
What is different:
*The lady is older and black.
*The whole cast is black.
*The priest is played by William Marshall aka 'Blacula'
*It is set in Kentucky.

What is the same:
*Everything else

This is truly separate, but equal film making. Well, actually it is nowhere near equal. This movie sucks really bad. 

To give you a comparison, William Friedkin also made "The French Connection" and "The Sorcerer." Meanwhile, William Girdler is known as the guy who made "Grizzly" and "The Manitou." 

Famous film about car chases and crime or the movie about a woman who has a tumor that grows into an Indian. Choices, choices, choices.

There really is no point to this movie. It's not like "Blacula" which has its own back-story and is not just a black version of "Dracula." 
Hell, even "Blackenstein"- as terrible as it is- has its own story and is a unique entity. This more like "Queen Kong," which simply switches the male roles with female and vice versa.

Any film that was actually marketed as "The Black Exorcist" does not bear any more attention. While there are more of these, it would require me to actually watch them. 

No thanks.

Stay tuned...
