Genuinely? One of my favorite anthology films and EASILY the best horror anthology I’ve seen. Hilarious that I JUST saw Dead of Night last night and this (I think) pays homage to that (scary puppet!) or at least follows the same format. Amazed at how creative it goes about…
KarstenApr 2, 2016A 1970's Amicus/E.C. portmanteau reconstituted in 1990's horrorcore, Tales From The Hood is conceptually and structurally unified to a much greater extent than most anthology horror films, finding real terrors within citizens murdered at the hands of police, domestic…

nathaxnne [goodbye <3]Oct 7, 2021A horror anthology that slices through social issues sharper than a straight razor, blending satire, scares, and brutal truths with a wickedly sharp edge.

Rusty Cundieff’s cult classic anthology! I guess I didn’t realize how much of this I had already seen in bits and pieces; Clarence Williams III maniacally saying “THE SHITTTTT” has been seared into my brain for god knows how long now to the point where 90% of this feels…
Matt!Apr 16, 2017The anthology horror equivalent of a Public Enemy record. It's LOUD, in your face, and not afraid to make you feel uncomfortable -- and rightfully so. I'm sure some people hate this because of just how un-subtle it is, but how else could you possibly tackle issues like…

Deserves much more credit than it gets for both anticipating and influencing the wave of social horror we’ve witnessed over the past decade. Thrilling, thoughtful, and nasty where it counts. Clarence Williams III’s performance is legendary.
anna nomalyFeb 20, 2022I think the best anthologies are not only those that have a good story, direction, and performances, but those that have something that makes them unique and set them apart from the rest. As a viewer, my favorite part of this film was not just that each of the stories had…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineNov 9, 2020I’ve been dabbling back into CHAPELLE’S SHOW, and thinking about Rusty Cundieff. I hadn’t seen this since high school, and while it’s still a conventional horror anthology, it’s also still way ahead of the curve. Often mislabeled as a comedy, it’s essentially…

- jo likedTales from the Hood
i was not expecting this to be so deep. horror stories about real life issues with added horror aspects. it’s bold and powerful. the movie was made 30 years ago and the issues it speaks about are still insanely prevalent. it’s an important watch. i teared up a couple times
I Am Mervin 2 lovedTales from the Hood95% I have been sleeping on this movie. Every segment was amazing. I thought this was a horror comedy, and still thought it was gonna be when i saw a skeleton smoking a joint, but no. Movie was just a straight up horror anthology with deep racial undertones and some humor.
Amya B lovedTales from the HoodUNDERRATED classic. No idea why it’s not as popular as it’s other campy cult classic counterparts (might have one idea haha). The last short is a bit heavy handed but I suppose out of all of them it should be.

9/10: A lot of themes of racism, police brutality, child abuse, and coupled with zombies, voodoo, and psychological horror, it’s a damn good movie; Crazy K segment was the best part
Brett Bettendorf lovedTales from the HoodWow, glad I finally watched this movie. It was a good horror anthology. Will be watching again. I am for sure going to watch the other 2 at some points
Quarto Costa lovedTales from the HoodI think it's a good movie, although the special effects are entertaining years later. It depicts some human problems well and gives food for thought.

This movie portrays issues within the black community so well while also having the gore and comedy aspect
