Ganja and hess

I found Ganja and Hess to be remarkably better than sweet blood of Jesus. personally the execution of a film that was almost identical in script and even in film angles was so vastly different that it felt like two separate entities rather than a remake. I got the sense that Ganja and Hess was more an art film where as Sweet Blood of Jesus came across as a poorly done vampire film. you said that Spike lee doesn't believe it to be a film about vampires, but the blood addiction (blood drinking) being such a core part of the story makes a it just that. personally I think the directors didn't want the films to be regarded as a vampire film because the genre compelled a different idea of what the films are. but it is possible to do art films within very specific genre. in fact I think Ganja and Hess executed it properly.
