Groovy 70s erotic revenge, where murder and manipulation upstage sleaze.
SUGAR COOKIES
...Soft...Sweet...Satisfying
A film producer murders his star actress during an erotic "game" and makes it look like suicide. The dead girl's lesbian lover discovers what happened, and plots her revenge.
Proof that not all sleaze is created equal—sometimes it’s stylish, sometimes it’s just sticky.
Sugar Cookies serves up a decadent slice of early 70s sleaze, but don't expect mere exploitation: Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry elevate the revenge plot with sharp performances, while George Shannon brings a memorably slimy edge to the proceedings. The film’s groovy wardrobes and plush décor make it a retro feast for the eyes.
