THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE, AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15+ YEARS, RESTORED UNCUT WITH 2+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES

 

After the termination of his deal with 20th Century Fox, Russ Meyer returned to independent filmmaking with perhaps his most wildly ambitious work - combining elements of blaxploitation, period epic and sexual melodrama - now presented in UHD for the first time ever: In 1835 colonial West Indies, cruel plantation owner Lady Susan Walker (future British aristocrat Anouska Hempel, who would successfully block the film's UK release) rules her slaves with racist brutality and a black bullwhip. But will the arrival of a studly nobleman (David Warbeck of THE BEYOND) trigger an island inferno of lust, violence and vengeance? Percy Herbert (THE WILD GEESE), Thomas Baptiste (AMIN: THE RISE AND FALL) and Dave Prowse (STAR WARS, THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN) co-star in the film Russ himself called "hellishly entertaining" - also known as SWEET SUZY, THE DUTCHESS OF DOOM and RUSS MEYER'S SLAVES - shot on location in Barbados, newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative and seething with over 2 hours of all-new Special Features.

“The thought alone of Russ Meyer making a period piece is perverse... Meyer sensationalizes the whip and maniacal slaveowners in this screwy vision of a colonial plantation circa 1835.” - Film Threat

 

“Not your run-of-the-mill Russ Meyer movie... A lurid yarn with a sensational ending, it will quite probably suck your bottom jaw to the floor in stunned silence.” - Images Journal

 

“A completely new experience... It remains a vital yet underappreciated part of Meyer's vision and a necessary component to any assessment of his work.” - Not Coming To A Theater Near You
