Plot[]
After dying Voodoo queen Mama Loa chooses adopted apprentice Lisa Fortier as her successor, her arrogant son and true heir Willis is outraged.
Seeking revenge, he buys the bones of Prince Mamuwalde, otherwise known as the vampire Blacula, from the former shaman of the voodoo cult and uses voodoo to resurrect the vampire to do his bidding. However, while it brings Blacula back to life, he bites Willis upon awakening. Willis now finds himself in a curse of his own doing: made into a vampire hungering for blood and a slave to the creature he sought to control.
Meanwhile, Justin Carter, an ex-police officer with a large collection of acquired African antiquities and an interest in the occult, begins to investigate the murders caused by Mamuwalde and his growing vampire horde. Justin meets Mamuwalde at a party Justin hosts to display the African collection pieces before being moved to the university's museum. They discuss the artifacts, unbeknown to anyone else, that were from the region of Africa Mamuwalde hails, including pieces of jewelry once worn by his late wife, Luva.
Mamuwalde also meets Justin's girlfriend, Lisa Fortier, at the party, and he discovers that Lisa is naturally adept at voodoo. Lisa discovers Mamuwalde's true nature after her friend Gloria falls victim to his bite and is resurrected as a vampire who nearly feeds on her, if not for Mamuwalde's intervention. He later asks her for help to cure him of his vampire curse.
Justin, with the help of L.A.P.D. Lieutenant Harley Dunlop pulls together several other cops to go to the Mamuwalde residence to investigate the recent deaths. While Lisa is performing the ritual to cure Mamuwalde, using a voodoo doll fashioned to look like him, Justin, Harley, and their men raid the house, fighting against Mamuwalde's vampire minions, which include several of their friends. Willis is killed during this scuffle. Justin manages to find Lisa and Mamuwalde and interrupts the ritual. Lisa refuses to help Mamuwalde after she witnesses him kill the other police officers in the house in a fit of rage.
After realizing that Lisa is no longer willing to help Mamuwalde, he rejects his human nature and attacks Justin. Lisa stops him by stabbing the prince's voodoo doll with a wooden arrow. As Lisa continues to stab the doll, Mamuwalde screams out in agony.
