A/V CLUB THEATER SPECIAL: 'SUGAR HILL (1974)'
American International Pictures and Samuel Z. Arkoff are both hallmarks of quality, so far as I'm concerned, and this movie is proof. Longtime exploitation producer Paul Maslansky tried his hand at directing only once, but it is a doozy. This blaxploitation classic mixes action with horror as Sugar calls on her voodoo roots to raise an army of zombies to avenge her lover's murder. Hijinks ensue.
