As noted by Stuart Galbraith in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/reviews\/24684\/ganja-hess-the-complete-edition\/\">his review for DVD Talk<\/a>, &#8220;There&#8217;s practically nothing to compare <em>Ganja &#038; Hess<\/em> to in either all of black cinema or the horror genre, and because the film is very much its own animal, audiences often don&#8217;t quite know what to make of it.&#8221; Indeed, <em>Ganja and Hess<\/em> was notoriously re-cut and re-distributed numerous times under different titles in an attempt to make it more appealing, but is thankfully now available once again in Gunn&#8217;s original vision &#8212; which seems entirely appropriate for such an experimental film. While it&#8217;s not for all tastes and moves too slowly at times, it&#8217;s recommended for one-time viewing given its unique place in Black cinema. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Fans of <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=13027\"><em>Night of the Living Dead<\/em> (1968)<\/a> will likely be thrilled to see its star, Duane Jones, on-screen again in one of his very few movie roles. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine performances by the three leads<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-71063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones-450x270.png 450w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Jones.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-71066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark-450x270.png 450w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Clark.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-71067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn-450x270.png 450w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ganja-and-Hess-Gunn.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography by James E.
