TALES FROM THE HOOD
Special Features: 30th Anniversary
When Stack, Ball and Bulldog roll up to the local funeral parlor to recover a stash of drugs, they meet eccentric mortician Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III), who regales the young men with four wild and wicked tales about retribution. The gruesome stories follow a police officer haunted by the spirit of a Black civil rights activist whose racially motivated murder he helped cover up; a young, sensitive boy abused by a terrifying “monster” living in his own home; a racist Southern senator facing the wrath of living dolls possessed by the souls of murdered African slaves; a callous gangster forced to confront the consequences of his actions through a torturous “rehabilitation” procedure. Executive produced by Spike Lee, this sharp and blunt satire from filmmaker Rusty Cundieff uses horror as a vehicle for social commentary about the African American experience and is a quintessential piece of the Black horror canon.
