Blood Money: The Vulture Men, also known as just Blood Money, is a 1997 Nigerian occult film directed by Chico Ejiro and starring Kanayo O. Kanayo, Zack Orji, Francis Agu, Steve Eboh, Francis Duru, Sam Dede, and Ejike Asiegbu.
Three years later, the Great Vulture demands a blood sacrifice from Mike, who delays this by offering his wife and mother instead.
In the film's second arc, Mike attempts to appease the vengeful spirit of his mother by collecting seven human heads; his newfound life as a serial killer is constantly interfered with by the police.
It was released in 1997 as Blood Money: The Vulture Men to commercial success, making it OJ Productions' "first big hit".
