242 Naked Evil ( 1966 )

This  strange  British  effort  is  only  notable  for  its  predominantly  black  cast  and  how  un-pc  it  is. Even  that  illicit  frisson wears  off  and  you're  left  with  a  very  tedious  story.

Richard  Coleman  plays  Inspector  Hollis  investigating  both  a turf  war  between  black  gangsters, one  of  them  a  club  owner  called, ahem, Spady  ( Bari  Jonson )  and  the  disturbance  of  a  graveyard. His  enquiries  lead  him  to  a  hall of  residene  for  Commonwealth  students  presided  over  by  Benson  ( Basil  Dignam ) who  is  being  threatened  by  obi's  a   bottle  of  charms   signifying  evil  voodoo. The  sinister  careataker  Amizan  ( Brylo  Forde )  may  have  something  to  do  with  it.
