She'll help you realise your wildest dreams, then plunge you into your worst nightmares!
Black Mamba is a suburban sorceress with a bad reputation, but a procession of lost souls can't be dissuaded from seeking her help. There's a couple who desperately want to conceive a child, a disfigured woman who wants to be beautiful, and a lonely man who'd like to meet some mermaids. No matter what the request, Black Mamba has a spell and a potion to make it happen — but summoning the supernatural to assist you with your earthly desires comes at a cost, and Black Mamba's demonic connections and evil intentions cannot be underestimated.
Director and writer Belinda M. Wilson stars as the titular Black Mamba, but this is no mere vanity project. Drawing from her family's history and her own vivid imagination, Wilson has created an anthology of outrageously lurid cautionary tales that will make your toes curl with their audacity — while at the same time blowing your mind with their formal inventiveness on a zero-dollar budget.
