Spine Chilling Review: Tales from the Hood (1995)
When I first heard of this film, I thought it was a ripoff from EC Comics' Tales from the Crypt. In time, and after seeing it as an adult many years later I have come to see this film as a social commentary using the medium of horror. In horror films, black people usually die first and while black people may love horror films, they don't love us back. That's I guess why even though The Wiz (1978) was an objective failure, I will always cherish it as I feel it belongs "to us" to blackness in America I'm going to go story by story and introduce the title and cast when I introduce the individual story as not to confuse my audience. I will also be reviewing the story as a whole at the end of the segments Tales from the Hood is a 1995 film written by Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott, Directed by Rusty Cundieff (he has a role in the film as well) Welc
