The original starred Clarence William III, Corbin Bernsen, David Alan Grier (of in Living Color fame for back then anyway)
In this a funeral director tells four tales of horror with an African American focus to three drug dealers he traps in his place of business. The first
Not sure if the original’s soundtrack is still available but here’s the song list
I was surprised when I came across Tales from the hood 2 on Netflix . The main story of this one is Robo Hell which is a twist like the original was. In Good Golly a couple of besties Audrey and Zoe take a trip to the Museum of Negrosity housing an assortment of propaganda. Audrey is there to purchase a gollywog doll for her collection, the doll is named Golligee . Which I think was the most memorable. The Medium a fake so-called psychic medium preys on the grief stricken and those that didn’t have closure. He is forced to do a séance which can go one of 2 ways. It will reveal how much of a fake he is, or he will summon those beyond the veil. Date Night is basically the falls of using Tinder and other dating apps and their predators. makes me glad I didn’t sign up, though now wonder if I should. Lol The Sacrifice was another that was very memorable. Unlike when you get a reboot or remake and so on, I was surprised I liked this one. It felt like it had all the elements that made the original what it was. So if you liked the ’95 movie you likely (I think) will enjoy this one. Back to Robo Hell this ended up my favorite of this sequel. Robo patriot which is basically an upgraded Robo cop, with a shot of Captain America. A mascagonist, racist asshole politician calls it R.I. ‘Real Intelligence as it learns 1st and 2nd hand. It goes from Captain Robot to looking like another Marvel character or property. When it senses a threat to America !!! I had to pause it just to write some of this up and(it was almost over but I just got excited) and found it a little funny (the very end of it) reminded me of someone else. What did you think? Tale from the Hood 2 Wiki In the first story we get a bit of Nostalgia, a special ‘guest star’ from the original movie B overall and an A for the Robo Patriot
Tales from the Hood 3
this came on Syfy, i didn’t even know there was a 3rd movie.
Tony Todd IS in this one though and No wonder… its from 2020
To get away from the bad things TT and a little girl (grand kid?) duck into some old building where she tells him some stories.
The 1st story
as always some is trying to clear house, but one family with a sick boy remains In the building which is supposed to be turned into a medical building of some sort that the area so very much needs. The suit that visited them earlier hires someone to get them out and he’s haunted.
2nd
Some hillbilly racist living in a bunker to protect his water . NOt sure what happened but I think its all in his head. A new type of zoo! with an American Racist Exhibit … I like this twist!
Story 3
a backup singer gets fired and is hired to be a paid to pick up blood. The old woman gives the singer a music box which she has a nightmare about which the story was predictable
4 Tale of the thief and I’m pretty sure that was some voodoo curse laid on him through the news. Walk a mile in his victims shoes and feel the pain of the families.
Chaperones Angels and demons so I guess he’s trapped between life and death.
I’m definitely not impressed with this one and can see why no one seems to like it. It doesn’t have the tone style and such the previous 2 had. No shocks and thrills plenty of cliché and no heart and no gory joy. Poor Candyman Tony Todd… WHY did you take this … He should have played the mortician!
