Summary: best friggin' horror movie ever
Review: "Tales from the Hood" is the best horror movie ever made. It freaked me out he first time i saw it (and i don't freak easy). It's about three Hood gangstas going into Mr. Simms funeral home to get some drugs. He leads them through and tells them some extremely scary stories. The first one is about a black kid on the force who sees some white cops beating on a black politician who tries to get rid of bad cops. The old black dude dies and comes back to tell the black kid, Clarence, to help him kill the white cops. The next ones are about slave dolls, an abusive father, and the best short movie about black history i've ever seen. if you only watch one story, watch the last one. WARNING: IF YOU ARE IN THE KKK, DON'T WATCH THIS.

Summary: A great funny twist of a horror movie!
Review: A four story movie filled with racism, abuse, police brutality and violence in a super natural twist. A HBO picture made bigger then it was added to be.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I'VE NEVER SEEN A BLACK HORROR MOVIE THAT WAS THIS GOOD!
Review: A MORTICIAN TELLS 4 STORIES TO A GROUP OF THUGS. THE 1ST AND 3RD ARE STANDARD TALES WITH AN AFRICAN AMERICAN TWIST BUT THE 2ND AND FOURTH TALES ARE DIFFERENT.
1ST TALE; A MAN IS BRUTALLY MURDERED BY RACIST, CROOKED COPS. AND THE BLACK COP THAT WITNESSED IT IS HAUNTED BY THE MAN'S VOICE. GOOD TALE AND WITH A COOL ENDING.

2ND TALE; A BOY IS BEING TERRORIZED BY A MONSTER AT HIS DOOR. HE TELLS A TEACHER THAT HE'S ALWAYS IN BRUISES BECAUSE OF THE MONSTER, BUT THE TEACHER DOESN'T BELIEVE HIM UNTIL HE COMES TO HIS HOUSE. NOW THIS IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THIS TALE WAS THE LEAST OF THE WHOLE MOVIE, BUT IT'S NOT BAD. IT'S JUST NOT AS GOOD AS THE OTHER 3.

3RD TALE; A WHITE MAN WHO'S RUNNING FOR MAYOR LIVES IN A FORMER SLAVE HOUSE THAT HAS DOLLS IN IT THAT ARE ALIVE. THIS IS GOOD, AND IT WAS PURE GENIUS HOW THE DOLLS CAME TO LIFE AND JUST SCARED THE LIVING SH.. OUT OF HIM. GREAT TALE.

4TH TALE; A THUG IS SENTENCED TO BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. THIS IS THE BEST TALE THAT THIS MOVIE HAS TO OFFER. IT SHOWS WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS TO THUGS. HE KEEPS SAYING HE DON'T GIVE A F... BUT THEN WE HE BLOWS HIS CHANCE AT REDEMPTION, HE WAKES UP AND GETS KILLED.

GREAT MOVIE. THIS BEATS THE ''TALES FROM THE CRYPT'' MOVIES. THEY SHOULD MAKE MORE HORROR MOVIES LIKE THIS. THIS WAS VERY THRILLING AND ALL THE TALES HAD A LOGICAL PLOT TO THEM. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was a classic when it came out.
Review: Four stories inside of the story. Clarence Williams III is great, no other actor in the world could have played that part better than him.This movies has real-life truthes that wll make you think. and after you watch it you'll want to own it.Who is Mr. Simms? I love this movie. One of my top 10 horror movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'll have to watch this again!
Review: I kind of turned off the t.v after being freaked out during the night, WHOA especially the ending, now that was so freaky, I dont remember much, a bunch of drug dealers go to a funeral home to deal some drugs or something? or they go to buy some, forgot, funny when the guy hits his head on the porch. Well I remember some stories one of dolls that kill people, and has something to do with a painting on the wall, another story of police brutality, lets leave it like that. I think anyone should watch this really interesting movie, one of my all time favs, it did scare me half to death! But I'll have to watch it again to refresh my memory!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good movie
Review: I really must say that the movie was pretty good. I love the background story(three gangsters going to an old funeral home owner for weed and he tells them story as he leads them through his house)but all of the stories that he tells except the last one are not really that good. I found a LOT more humor in this movie than scares but I have got to say it is a movie worth buying. The dialouge between the gangsters is absolutely hilarious. I bought the movie and I think it is certainly one to show all of your friends.

Summary: The Last One Makes Up for the Other Three
Review: The first three-fourths of the film play like a fairly routine "Night Gallery" episode, but the last story has a really powerful message that needs to be seen by every young "gangsta-wannabe" out there. This one features the late character actress Rosalind Cash in a truly effective performance. The excessively graphic images add to the realism of the horror that exists in many of the nation's cities.

The equally-impressive Clarence Williams III pulls out all the stops as a funeral home director with a devilish alter-ego.

Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Rating: 5 stars
