Damian L It was good and a little scary Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Audience Member What a cool opening to a Blaxploitation pic - Supernatural Voodoo Woman by The Originals! Yes, I've got all the tropes -gangstas and gratuitous use of the 'n' word, but something more…. Zombies, oh yes! It's smart - The voodoo dance is a stage show, I've got a strong female lead, tight direction, an awareness of race, the voodoo expert is a white Englishman. Oh, the emergence of the zombies from the earth is awesome! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Totally rad and unique blaxploitation flick. Where a hot momma enlists the help of Baron Samdie, to raise up some zombies and enact revenge on the thugs that killed her man. It's a blast. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/19 Full Review delysid d this movie is so unique theres no other quite like it Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/11/18 Full Review Audience Member I watched this totally blind and it was like 10x better than I expected. I loved this - I loved the plot, I loved the art direction, I loved the costumes, I loved the concept... like hell yeah, get a hot woman to raise a zombie army of slaves to kill a buncha honkies. Amazingly satisfying ending too. Like is there plenty that's 'wrong' about this? Yeah duh, but I'm not here to overthink a movie about a woman named "Sugar Hill," like what more do you want from a blaxploitation movie. This being a revenge flick about her boyfriend was a great 'twist' - at least she didn't get assaulted herself. In fact I found this refreshingly non-sexist for the most part... at least in comparison to what it could have been. This shit was just fun. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Offbeat blaxploitation film from producer Samuel Z. Arkoff. There weren't too many blaxploitation horror films and most of them didn't really work, but this voodoo themed film works pretty well. The heroine of the film wants revenge for the murder of her boyfriend. She then seeks the help of Mama Maitresse (Zara Cully, who played Mama Jefferson on "The Jeffersons") to call on the Lord of the Dead, Baron Samedi, for help exacting her revenge. The Baron gives her an army of voodoo style zombies (not Romero zombie) to get those who killed her boyfriend. There are no real stars in the film outside of maybe Robert Quarry, who is best known for playing Count Yorga, and maybe Charles P. Robinson, who'd later be well known as Mac Robinson on NBC's Night Court (playing a character named Fabulous). The film was directed by Paul Maslansky, who'd later go on to produce all of the "Police Academy" films. But despite that weak pedigree, this film is actually fairly well made for a low budget AIP exploitation flick. Overall, this is a pretty cheaply made film, but it's surprisingly well done, even if the characters aren't developed all that well, the film did hold my interest.
