On a Caribbean island in the distant past¸ a Voodoo priest kills his lover’s husband and they are both killed for the crime. On a modern day cruise¸ the Voodoo priest begins looking for his lover’s reincarnation¸ beheading passengers along the way.
VOODOO BLACK MUMMY would have been a better title, since there isn't any exorcist to speak of. Also, not much voodoo, either. Ah, who cares? This movie is cheesy, amazing fun that highlights everything that was right (or, depending on your taste, wrong) with exploitation in the early 1970's. An oatmeal faced mummy in a black turtleneck searching for his lost love, nightclub scenes, a fairly rapid pace, funky camera work, bad dubbing, and enough glitches, jumps, scratches and dings to make you feel like you might actually be at either a drive-in or a grindhouse. Turn the lights down low, and let the greatness flow!

No Exorcist in this Spanish treasure
