My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4

(DVD, Xenon)
(Encore)
Amateur production from Melvin Van Peebles is essentially a filmed play: it all takes place in one small apartment in Harlem. The occasion is the birthday party of a naive 20-year-old girl. A couple of "bats out of hell" (literally) show up to spoil the fun by tempting her with love and other diversions. The guests of the party laugh, drink and eat, but mostly sing songs with blues and gospel influences. The songs save it from being a complete disaster.
