Story
Dr. Hess Green, a wealthy art collector and curator, becomes obsessed with an ancient African artifact displayed in his museum. After touching it, he suddenly experiences an insatiable thirst for blood. This transformation does not turn him into a traditional vampire, but rather curses him with a strange addiction. Despite this change, Hess maintains his public persona and soon enters into a passionate romance with Ganja Hightower, who is initially drawn to his newfound intensity. Their relationship challenges the norms of love, addiction, sex, and social status as Hess struggles with his bloodlust and Ganja becomes increasingly entangled in his dangerous world.
Summary
Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2014) is an unconventional horror romance directed by Spike Lee, blending elements of comedy and drama. The film explores themes of addiction, love, and social status through the lens of a unique curse that affects its protagonist, Dr. Hess Green. While the plot descriptions from TMDB and OMDB differ slightly in their emphasis on whether Hess becomes a vampire or not, they both agree that he is overwhelmed with an urge for blood after encountering an ancient African artifact. The movie questions societal norms and expectations through Hess' transformation and his relationship with Ganja Hightower.
