Analyzing and refuting the inaccuracies lodged against the lgbt community by religious conservative organizations. Lies in the name of God are still lies.
Time for another change of pace in an attempt to perk up spirits during this pandemic. Try to keep up when it comes to the plot of this 1974 blaxploitation cult classic, Sugar Hill (otherwise known as The Zombies of Sugar Hill.) Marki Bey portrays Sugar Hill, a photographer whose boyfriend is murdered by the Mob because they to get ownership of his very lucrative night club. Naturally, Sugar wants revenge but can't go to the police. Instead, with the help of a voodoo priestess (Zara Cully of 'The Jeffersons') she contacts the Haitian lord of the dead, Baron Samedi, and his voodoo army of undead former slaves to teach exact proper and deadly vengeance.
You get all of that? By this trailer, it looks like a rather spooky movie:
It is slightly scary but it's more campy than scary. Being a blaxploitation movie, Sugar Hill shared the same tropes as others in that genre (ie. Coffy, Cleopatra Jones, Shaft, Superfly, Blacula) - a weak storyline carried by charismatic actors, strong and heroic black characters, evil white characters, sell-out evil black characters, racial components, outrageous hairstyles and fashions.
