The hood comes off and the dead have there say. This is a moving show about the past and present. It makes you confront what goes on in every day life in the hood. You think you got it going on? You think you are going to get away with something? This may show that you have to come correct. What you do has its way of revenge. This is one not to miss. There is no begging for mercy. This is not for minors even though the young as well as the old has a hand in it. A picture crumbled in a young hand has the same affect as an old woman making dolls. It’s powerful.
I saw this movie when it first came out years ago, so I decided that I wanted to add it to my collection of movies. When I went to one major movie store I was told it was out of print. I felt I had to have this movie because I like all of the main actors in this movie.I like any movie that Clarence Williams III plays in. What i loved about this movie is that the actors played their roles like an everyday person. Most horror movies you see now you can tell what is going to happen to some of the actors as the movie goes along.As you watch this movie you think that this is only a funeral parol and that the boys are going to get what they want and leave, but the mortician puts a twist in this movie. I rated this movie on a scale from 1 to 10. I give it a 10 because the tales seemed real.
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.Read full review
