I was really surprised to see this film coming to Blu-ray and I knew I had to purchase it right away.
The movie starts 1000 years ago with a fight between two men over a woman. Both men are in black body make-up that comes off in the water. One man is killed and the other, Guede Nibo and his woman Kenya are punished for this "crime".
She is beheaded and he is mummified. Move 1000 years ahead and his mummified remains are brought aboard a luxury liner for transport to the US.
He returns to life and kills several people on the liner and every once in a while he reverts to his mummy-like state. Nibo finds himself smitten with a gorgeous woman on the ship named Silvia (Eva Leon) who reminds him of his long lost love, Kenya.
There is a lot of weird stuff going on and many, many disjointed scenes and some make no sense at all, but the movie is somehow still interesting. The previous versions of this film that have been available have been muddy and cropped. it's very nice to see this film looking better than I have ever seen it and in it's original wiescreen.
It may not be the best film ever made, but it is of interest to horror fans, or at least I hope it is. Check it out.
