Ganja and Hess
Directed by Bill Gunn
After getting stabbed with an ancient knife, an archaeologist becomes a vampire in this black indie horror classic starring NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD’s Duane Jones. Made during the era when campy films like BLACULA and ABBY were the only offerings for Black horror fans, Bill Gunn’s atmospheric vampire movie offered a rich alternative. According to Variety’s Scott Foundas, GANJA “used vampirism as an ingenious metaphor for black assimilation, white cultural imperialism and the hypocrisies of organized religion. Four decades on, it still packs a primal punch.”

I would seriously have a smoke a lot of ganja to enjoy this movie “Ganja and Hess.” Baaaaaaaaad acting!
Beautiful movie, recommend using CC cause of the sounding. It’s almost like a fever dream
The hot vampire couple that I didn’t know I needed 😍 I definitely got confused a few times, but the cinematography & soundtrack was so good.
