For the third day, I’m hearkening way way back to the days of Blaxploitation, with Sugar Hill. It’s a completely new one to me, this in fact came out when my mom was in high school. So, its time to grab your bellbottoms, pick out your fro and dust off your platforms.

When her boyfriend is murdered by gangsters, Sugar Hill decides not to get mad, but BAD! She entreats voodoo queen Mama Maitresse to call on Baron Samedi, Lord of the Dead, for help with a gruesome revenge. In exchange for Sugar’s soul, the Dark Master raises up a zombie army to do her bidding. The bad guys who think they got away clean are about to find out that they’re DEAD wrong.

According to the film, the zombies are the preserved bodies of slaves brought to the United States from Guinea. The film stars Marki Bey, Robert Quarry, Don Pedro Colley, Charles Robinson and Richard Lawson. Sugar Hill is directed by Paul Maslansky.

Now, I already anticipate this will be dated and likely problematic on some levels. It’s a Blaxploitation film, written and directed by white people about Black narratives for Gods sake. So, I plan on suspending my 2021 thoughts and try to see the fun in it. Tagline – Sugar is the foxiest, sexiest, deadliest chick in town. Yeah, that’s fun.
