Sugar Hill (1974)

Directed by Paul Maslansky

Featuring Marki Bey, Don Pedro Colley, Robert Quarry

50th Anniversary!

Meet Sugar Hill and her zombie hit men... The mafia has never met anything like them!  

"Of all the blaxploitation horror films, Sugar Hill is the one most likely to make you sleep with the lights on." - David Walker, BadAzz Mofo

"Marki Bey is outstanding in the lead as Diana 'Sugar' Hill." - Josiah Howad, Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide

"The cobweb-covered zombies with blank eyes and machetes are pretty scary." - Michael J. Weldon, The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film

To avenge the death of her nightclub-owning beau by a corrupt mob, Sugar (Marki Bey) enlists the help of her voodoo relatives while recovering at her family's back woods homestead.  They conjure up an army of pop-eyed zombies from an old slave graveyard to help Sugar gain her revenge against the bad guys.  

This drive-in gem combines 70's Blaxploitation elements with good ol' reliable zombie movie fun to create a unique hybrid that has yet to be copied.
