Note : Time for some more blaxploitation, and this one's directed by Paul Maslansky, who previously produced the excellent, underappreciated Death Line, and later the Police Academy franchise, and it turns out he wasn't a bad director himself, making this weird mix of crime film, zombie horror, and supernatural voodoo revenge more than the sum of its parts. There are some interesting visuals, in particular the look of the zombies, whose makeup includes dark reflective spheres over their eyes, which tend to catch the light in eerie ways, almost reminiscent of the glowing eyes in Demons more than ten years later, but more subtle. This, combined with the fact that several of the zombies are grinning, makes for some pretty unnerving scenes in what could otherwise have been a kind of goofy genre mashup. The quite good cast, decked out in their best mid-seventies street fashion, includes Marki Bey, Robert Quarry, Don Pedro Colley, Betty Anne Rees, Richard Lawson, Zara Cully, and Charles Robinson.

Diana "Sugar" Hill is a photographer in Houston whose boyfriend runs a nightclub, and when he refuses an offer to sell the club to a mob boss, he's ruthlessly murdered. Sugar swears revenge, and with the assistance of a former voodoo queen named Mama Maitresse, she summons Baron Samedi himself, who, in exchange for her soul, raises an army of zombies from a slave cemetery and puts them at her disposal, leading to the mobsters' gruesome demises. However, Sugar's ex boyfriend, police lt. Valentine, is investigating the killings, so it's a question of who will survive, and what will be left of their afros.

This is a decent enough transfer of a film that's notoriously slightly underexposed and grainy, but which looks fine otherwise. The image quality isn't fantastic, but the vibes are off the charts. The original dual mono track sounds fine, and the director's commentary track is full of film industry anecdotes, especially focused on the group around AIP.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk voodoo” for more Caribbean syncretic religion and more or less exaggerated portrayals thereof, “hevk zombie” for more corpses rising from the grave, or “hevk 70s” for more from the decade when even the most outrageous pimp suit couldn't defend you from zombie bites.
