“The mob has never seen anything like Sugar Hill and her zombie hit men.” When her boyfriend Langston (Larry D. Johnson) is brutally murdered after refusing to be shaken down by the local gangsters running their protection racket, Diana “Sugar” Hill (Marki Bey) decides not to get mad but BAD! With the help of voodoo priestess Mama Maitresse (Zara Cully) and death god Baron Samedi (Don Pedro Colley), Hill teams up with an undead army to enact her sweet revenge. SUGAR HILL is the kind of fun and sexy flick moviegoers were accustomed to in the ‘70s, but its mashup of blaxploitation with zombie horror proved not only entertaining but unexpected, casting the undead horde as the heroes of its story. DIR Paul Maslansky; SCR Tim Kelly; PROD Elliot Schick. U.S., 1974, color, 91 min. RATED PG
