In this once-lost masterpiece of independent horror, the blade of an ancient African knife spreads a vampiric contagion to research assistant George (Bill Gunn), whose bloodlust soon infects Dr. Hess Green (Duane Jones) as well. When Hess is enraptured by George's beautiful wife, Ganja (Marlene Clark), he attempts to conceal his terrible secret... but at a high price. (official distributor synopsis)
