Amando de Ossorio, the director of the notorious Blind Dead films, strikes again with Night of the Sorcerers. In 1910 Africa, a brutal ceremony takes place in Bumbasa, starting with the whipping, defiling and beheading of a European woman. The ceremony is interrupted by British soldiers and the natives are killed, but the ceremony is completed and a new evil is born – the victim’s head comes to life and she screams, exposing her new vampire fangs. Decades later, a group of explorers arrive near the same location for wildlife study. All is tranquil until nighttime comes and distant drumming draws one of the female members of the group to investigate. Thus begins a nightmare is re-awakened – of zombie natives and vampire women, prowling the moonlit jungle in search of fresh blood. A wild foray into unabashed exploitation that far outdoes anything else in de Ossorio’s body of work, Night of the Sorcerers -- with its over-the-top political incorrectness and brazen sadistic elements -- is a film that still possesses the power to shock contemporary audiences.
