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 |

INCREDIBLY scary..... |
I decided to watch this movie at my brother's behest; he did NOT warn me that this would be incredibly scary. The fact that the situations were based on events that could've occurred did not help put me at ease. When Clarence Williams III screams maniacally, "WELCOME....TO HELL!!!" near the movie's end, it's all one can do not to run quickly into his or her bedroom and pull the covers up over one's head.
It definitely keeps in line with the horror genre: graphic violence, supernatural occurrences, etc. |

Tales From the Hood |
When three drug dealers are called to a funeral parlor to collect a stash of drugs, they are greeted by the creepy, eccentric Mr. Simms , who proceeds to tell them four moralistic tales of terror regarding the deceased who lie in his parlor. The first tale concerns a man murdered by crooked police officers and the officer who begins hearing his voice from beyond the grave to avenge his death. The second story deals with a boy named Walter, the monster who torments him, and the teacher who realizes that something is wrong. The third story deals with a white supremacist running for governor, who lives in an old house with a history of racial violence and who refuses to heed the warnings of the supernatural presence that occupies it. Finally, the fourth story deals with a career criminal who agrees to undergo a horrific behavioral modification program overseen by a government-employed scientist. The stories each become gradually scarier as Mr. Simms go on and as the drug dealers begin to lose their patience, until they are ultimately given what they have come for, and find that there is something much more evil to the funeral home than they ever realized. "Tales from the Hood" is a very good movie. Watch this movie, not expecting a horror movie, but a very important social studies lesson.
