Jul 9, 2009 Believe it or not, there were actually a handful of films produced during the thirties and forties that were made by an all-black cast and crew; since this was an era when separate theaters for whites and colored folks still existed, movies had to be made that would appeal exclusively to the latter. What's interesting about this film is that because it was an African-American production, it could avoid the racial stereotypes that pervaded Hollywood films of the period, and the black characters were allowed to act like normal, everyday human beings. Unfortunately, since these all-black productions were not afforded the same budget and production values as other films, they were generally terrible. "Son of Ingagi" is incredibly cheap and creaky, and even at its brief running time of 60 minutes, feels like it drags on forever; the killer ape of the title is basically just a guy wearing a ski mask with black mop head on top of his cranium! Still, this film does earn points for being an interesting historical curiosity. See more
