OOGA BOOGA

Cinemavixion Review

Charles Band's "Ooga Booga" plunges into a lurid revenge fantasy, offering a unique blend of horror and dark comedy. The film centers on an African American medical student whose life is cut tragically short by a corrupt police officer. In a bizarre twist of fate, his spirit is resurrected within a tribal action figure, aptly named Ooga Booga. Driven by a primal need for vengeance and armed with little more than a spear and the support of his former girlfriend, Ooga Booga embarks on a quest for retribution against his murderers. The narrative takes the audience through the grittier corners of society, from streets to trailer parks, as Ooga Booga seeks justice. While the premise is outlandish, the film attempts to explore themes of injustice and the supernatural. Starring Karen Black, Gregory Blair, and Ciarra Carter, "Ooga Booga" delivers a campy, low-budget spectacle that fans of Band's distinctive style might find entertaining.
