Blacula

Blacula (1972) is a cult American horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by William Crain.

African prince Mamuwalde travels to Transylvania in the 18th century to negotiate with Count Dracula — talks that go nowhere fast. Dracula curses him and seals him inside a coffin. Two centuries later that coffin surfaces in Los Angeles, Mamuwalde is free, and the city becomes his hunting ground. Along the way he encounters a woman he believes is the reincarnation of his dead wife, which gives the vampire story a grief-soaked thread most genre entries skip entirely.

Shot at the height of the blaxploitation era, the film works differently because William Marshall plays the prince with genuine pathos — a man robbed of centuries, not just a monster in a cape. Stream Blacula online on iFILM.
