Synopsis

Anthropologist Hess Green is stabbed with an ancient ceremonial dagger by his unstable assistant—blessing him with immortality but cursing him with a thirst for blood. When the assistant’s outspoken wife, Ganja, comes searching for her vanished husband, she and Hess form an unexpected partnership.

Our take

How many ideas can fit into a low-budget movie about ancient curses? Proving how thin the line between B-movies and art can be, Ganja & Hess takes a horror flick premise and turns it into a complex, passionate act of provocation. A “blaxploitation” classic, now restored to its original version!
