Adze the African Vampire (2024)

Adze the African Vampire (2024). Adze the African Vampire: Directed by John Droese. With Shawntae Hughes, Branden Greenberg, Nichole Banna, Kayla Mychell Jordan. When a viral video ignites whispers of an African Vampire, a myth-busting YouTuber teams up with three social media icons in a perilous hunt for the truth.

“Adze the African Vampire is a found footage horror film that excels best when it takes advantage of the sights, sounds and locations within (the film takes place in rural Georgia). The environment itself becomes a main character in the story. Reminiscent of Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity the film follows a group of myth busters into the woods and eventually everything goes sideways. There is a charm to be found as we watch the vapid bunch begin to circle the drain. This subtext helps to make this more than just a midnight horror movie. It reads as a cautionary tale as well. Excellent cinematography (especially in the cave scenes) and good comedy throughout.”
