Blu-ray Review – Sugar Cookies

Well, if you're a filmmaker and you're trying to rip-off Hitchcock, excessive amounts of nudity always helps. 1973's "Sugar Cookies" isn't the most memorable sexploitation shocker of its era, but a few of the names associated with its creation certainly raise eyebrows, with credits boasting the participation of Troma Entertainment founder Lloyd Kaufman (who co-scripts) and Oliver Stone, who's listed among the producers. Everyone has to make their start somewhere, and I can certainly understand the external appeal of "Sugar Cookies," with its elements of mystery, bare skin, and perversion. It's a strange picture, not entirely coherent despite the illusion of comprehensible sinister business, but it's entertaining in a B-movie way, offering a steady stream of threatening behavior and spastic seductions to help ease an awkward "Vertigo"-inspired plot into place.
