A
blaxploitation film with zombies? You betcha.
As long as you count people with half a ping-pong ball
stuck to each eye as zombies, of course.
The
'avenging angel' is a mainstay of seventies grindhouse
cinema plots, and Sugar Hill and her Amazingly Variable
Haircut seems to offer an interesting twist to it.
Grinning zombies, a pretty lady and buckets of blood -
what more could you ask for? I'll bet good money
that Quentin Tarantino has seen this film at least five
times.
I was a
little disappointed in the lacklustre efforts of
the mafia - The kicking they give Sugar's man looks
really half-arsed. I think rather than amassing an
army of the undead, Sugar could have seen them all off
with a big stick.
Favourite
bit: Near the end when a zombie pops up from the
bottom of the screen, like it's been sitting in a giant
toaster. |
