John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
Unlikely to scare anybody, but it's a haunted treasure chest's worth of 1970s style, slang and racial provocation. ('I hope they're into white trash,' quips the heroine, feeding a gangster to the hogs.)

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
What's odd about this blaxploitation voodoo horror film is the killer zombies are made the heroes for killing the gangsters.
