A pretty good idea that remains basically no more lifelike than Sugar Hill's zombies, because of a lack of imatination on the part of the film-makers I would assume. You have some good people in the movie, Marki Bey is beautiful and has cool screen presence at least, but none of the actors are getting much help from the director. Most of the cast under-plays, while some like Don Pedro Colley are too far over the top to match the rest of the film. Some of AIP's late 70s horror/black action films are very good, such as "J.D.'s Revenge", but this one feels flat in all the wrong places. Even the unintentional humor is few and far between.
Basically the story is about Sugar Hill (Bey) using black magic to get a bunch of zombies to kill mobsters. Said mobsters made Sugar very angry by killing off her idealized nightclub-owning man (Larry D. Johnson). Luckily though her backup boyfriend (Richard Lawson) is a cop.
Can't say much that's good about this movie so best not to say much at all. It might have some redeeming qualities that require multiple viewings to pick up, like a lot of exploitation films. But it doesn't really aspire to be more than it is, and that's not really a good sign. It seems a bare bones film in every way, and much of the blame lies with the director probably.
