Fleetwood Deville (Charles Buchanan) is one of the biggest pimps of the
Dallas/Fort Worth area, and he shies away from nothing to get what he
wants ... but he has a problem: A woman has cursed him so he's impotent,
has a rattlesnake for a dick, and he constantly shits himself. Devay
Devine (Heather McCormick) is a tough-as-nails bitch. Originally, she
worked as a hooker for Marc Mercedes (Martin Ezelle) - until Fleetwood
made her a better offer and she's now his lead hitwoman ... but good
habits die hard, so she still turns tricks on those she later murders.
Fleetwood treats her like shit (like every other woman, actually), but she
lets him ... basically, because she's in love with him. One day,
Fleetwood tells Devay to track down the voodoo prostitute (Jayde Kelley),
the woman who has cursed him, and without knowing why, Devay does exactly
what he asks of her, even if that means killing her old pimp Mercedes, a
guy who has never actually done her any wrong. Fleetwood asks a few
minutes alone with the voodoo prostitute - who still holds a grudge for
him, so she just breaks her own neck to no longer be able to reverse the
curse. But Fleetwood is not one to give up that easily and let a little
thing like death stand in the way of his cure, so he asks a voodoo doctor
(Perry Lee) for assistance, who tells him he needs a human, more
specifically female sacrifice to revive the voodoo prostitute. And who
better to use than Devay, who eats out of Fleetwood's hand anyways ... The
Tale of the Voodoo Prostitute is almost certainly not the most refined
film you have ever seen: It was obviously made on a modest budget and thus
suffers a bit from a lack of impressive sets, and the lack of real action
is buttered over by an overflow of dialogue a bit too often. Plus the
directorial effort hardly ever elevates above the functional. And yet, The
Tale of the Voodoo Prostitute is a pretty memorable film, because it
manages to capture the seediness of its story without becoming just a
piece of sleaze, because it manages to ironically play with pulp mainstays
without becoming moronic, and because it manages to create an overall
atmosphere of unease necessary to eventually infuse the supernatural
elements into the plot and getting away with it. Well, no masterpiece
maybe, but totally recommended still!
