Tales From the Hood description Revenge/horror motif played out again and again and again, but this time with racial implications. Three drug-dealing thugs look for a stash in a funeral parlor and get the grand tour from Mr. Simms, the truly creepy mortician. As they pass the open caskets, Simms relates gruesome stories about the occupants' deaths to the increasingly restless young men. Each one of them falls to the vengeance of the supernatural theme, and it gets truly old. Nothing original is introduced, except that most of the stories take place in an urban setting. Produced by Spike Lee in an attempt to prove that bad horror doesn't discriminate, either. --Keith Simanton |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Not a die hard Spike Lee fan, but... |
| I rented this when it first came out at 15 years old. My mom and I got thru the first two stories and due to the language and freaky violence, we turned it off. What's ironic, is from the case, I thought it was a comedy, boy! Was I ever wrong!
In the past several years, I've watched it a few more times, I still don't enjoy' it per se, but it's interesting how the stories play an homage to real life, every day problems. It's very creepy, but well done, until several years ago, I wasn't a big fan of story collections in a movie format, this, Stephen King, R.L.Stine's Nightmare Room and Tales from the Crypt, helped me reconcile with that. |
