So basically, "Voodoo Heartbeat", a once lost film, has been found. It was very hard to obtain this movie. Was it worth it? A little bit.
The plot is about a guy stealing a serum, that when injected into a human, causes their blood to rapidly deteriorate, and that causes a lust for blood, which leads to said person becoming a crazed murderer. This idea seems decent enough, but the flaws in the movie ruin it.
So many scenes are painfully overdrawn overlong, and a lot of things seem to happen in slow motion. Throw in a couple of scenes useless to the plot as well, you get a VERY slow-paced movie, even at a short 85 minutes.
On top of that, the acting and line delivery is bad, especially for whoever played Dr. Blake's daughter, but it's not as bad as the pacing.
Other than that, mostly everything else was average (costumes, soundtrack, sets, cinematography, etc.). There is an action sequence at the beginning which was pretty good, but the boat chase sequence at the end was simply dull. Last thing: the blood/gore in the movie looks pretty phony.
Overall, it is extremely slow-paced and badly acted, but it does have some good to it. 3.5/10.
