Screening on 35mm

Refusing to sell his property to a local mob boss, a nightclub owner is brutally murdered by the mobster’s goons, leaving his wife thirsty for revenge. Her desired method: Using a voodoo priestess’s skills to summon a small army of the living dead. With that delightfully twisted set-up, the Blaxploitation knockout SUGAR HILL goes to town in delivering one hell of a good time with pure sleaze, shock, and figurative tongue firmly planted in cheek. One of the better ’70s horror films that folks don’t talk about enough, it’s a no-brainer for Brooklyn Horror’s “Zombies!” sidebar that we’re excited to screen in glorious 35mm. —Matt Barone
