This week's special guest @DCErvin
Tales from the Hood is a 1995 American horror anthology film directed by Rusty Cundieff and executive-produced by Spike Lee. The film presents four short urban-themed horror stories based on problem concepts that affect the African-American community in the order of police corruption, domestic abuse, racism, and gang violence, all presented within a frame story of three drug dealers buying some "found" drugs from an eccentric and story-prone funeral director.

David Allen Grier played his part so good. His range as an actor is very underrated.
He was scary as shit
He wasn’t playing no games lol.

The original “Tales from the Hood” is a true classic. It had great writers and Spike Lee was behind the scenes with the production company. It was a disappointment that the sequels couldn’t live up to any thing near the original.
Right💯
I think why they squeals away. They should've scrapped the ideas. DELETE THE SHIT OFF THEIR COMPUTER.
Lol did they really even deserve sequels?
So movies don’t always deserve or need sequels esp if you can’t get the main character to come back

i know it's long but damn can you imagine.
The second tales from the hood is underrated
R.I.P. to who played the doctor Rosalind Cash who died months after release of this film on halloween
RIP
Thank you I always like her in films and shows! It seem to me like she was so perfect! Sad she died after this film was released. She was nothing but in her 50’s at the time 😞. #RIPRosalindCash
This movie scared the hell out of me as a kid 😂
Tales form the hood is severely underrated it was thought provoking , comical , and lastly Scary it touched on key issues in the black community that still plague us today. Police brutality , domestic/child abuse , racism , and gang violence/ black on black crime it was able to be have social commentary without straying away from the fact that’s it’s still a horror movie it was the get out before get out. Great ensemble cast , dope soundtrack and a masterful performance from the late Clarence Williams III glad to see y’all giving it is flowers 💯
“Why they call em refried beans🤷🏾♂️ they should fry the mfs right the 1st time?” Took me tf out when I was little😂😂😂
I think I was the only one that knew the green stuff was embalming fluid. Like, everyone always asked what the heck was the green stuff.🤣 As for the special effects, I believe they were made that way to remain a bit comic book-ish, paying homage to the comic book based horror anthologies. But David Alan Grier's monster shadow was the same head used for the Satan costume.
Yessir that's why they went to the mortuary facts
Clarence Williams III RIP played the hell out of that role for a long time I would not watch movies he was in because I thought he was really crazy like real life crazy but one of the coldest actors to grace the silver screen and tv
Third story was basically a metaphor for unity
One by themselves cant do much but all of us will accomplish greatness
The last tale was the most powerful..also it wasn't the police that killed the 3 gang members it was crazy k's gang that killed them in revenge
Exactly. I said the same thing too. They were clearly shot by Krazy k gang homies based on retaliation. It just indicates violent cycles
The monster claws and all that made perfect sense cause that's how he viewed the dad as a literal monster
This is one of my all time favorite movies.. Maybe y'all should do "Bones(2001) starring Snoop Dogg to keep with the Halloween Horror theme.
I can't wait to see what they say about how the blood looked
With the 2nd story, I think the mom couldn't see the monster because she wasn't in touch with her imagination until the Lil boy stood up to the monster
The monster is used to convey how kids interpret things and because they don’t know how to articulate well people pass things they say off as kids making things up…the scene where the monster comes in the room and the kid is screaming and crying saying no but we don’t hear any punching or slapping makes me think it may have been sexual assault too
Remember David Allen Grier had a Tattoo on his arm that said Monster. That what the boy rememberd
I just gotta say, Rusty Cundieff (writer/director) needs his flowers! And y’all should definitely review “Fear of a Black Hat” soon!
He also played the teacher-
Classic anthology film, The soundtrack was a banger also. Rest in peace Clarence Williams lll🙏 aka Sampson(half baked) he did a great job as Mr. Simms/the devil and many other roles in which he appeared, Black excellence✊🏾💯
Excellent he scared the shit out of me.
@@omegawicked1 facts, but the cartoon snake tongue when he transforms was hilarious.
Spice 1 Born II Die still in rotation
@@jerryadamsjr2201That Domino track still pops too. I know its sounds bad, but its all good, these are the tales, tales from da hood. 😅
Jae the Fade have spoiled me. I like having her in on the conversations about movies now…
😁 I don't care what y'all say there were no failures in this movie... Everything was well executed... AWESOME MOVIE... The problem is yall viewing a 1995 movie with 2022 (2023) vision... Back then people REALLY lived with a "mind your business mentality"... Unfortunately everything in that movie is still thriving such as racism, domestic abuse, gang culture etc... What's understood don't need to be explained....lol
Keep up the great work Bigg Jah...💯
That "weirdo brother" skit is a classic...🦾
RIP Clarence Williams III
Facts, so many incorrect details with this video.
@@sagittarius420cheefie 😁
I think they dropped the ball on this one
@@danigirl562 yeah just a little bit...lol
“You never see him jog one time, nigga couldn’t jog he had hard bottoms on” 🤣🤣🤣 that shit was comedy 😅
Hands down I know ppl be looking at me weird but that movie traumatized me lol
The best line is David Alan Grier
Oh you think ima Monsta (not monster) 🤣🤣🤣
As a kid, Tales From The Hood used to haunt my dreams 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think in the monster story she flirted with him to keep his mind off the abuse and get him outta there so the husband wouldn't find out
I think that the reason Mr. Simms was acting like that was that he was trying to tell the three dudes that he was the Devil without coming out and just saying it. It's just that they weren't paying attention the whole time. He even told them halfway through that "They want the shit.. They are going to be knee deep in The Shit.." The whole thing with him turning on the lights by touching them was another sign that they should have smartened up and realized that they were no longer in normal reality so to speak.
This movie is a classic!! For 1995 movie, it made its point. Film directors back then were focused on the message of a movie and not how good the graphics were when trying to educate black people on our history and where we are now!
I saw Tony, I came.
Saw DC, I continued watching
But you guys are great at breaking down movies! New fan! Subscribed.
The guy with the dreads that played the teacher actually produced the movie
Baby, the budget went to CW3’s final form!!
His purgatory was sexualized cause thats how he lived. You guys noticed the nurses
😯 that makes complete sense
45:40
When He Called The Dolls "Little Nigglins" I Lost My Shyt!
The three dudes didn't get killed by the cops they got killed by Krazy k homies
Right, the earlier shot was to throw you off it was them
I love this series but I see you got a different perspective of this film
I think its brilliant with all the satire and metaphors
Absolutely
48:10-48:20😂 bruh said I wouldn't even curse in dat room n bigg jah describing how the dolls felt when duke hit the grandma in the painting
He said Krazy k homies killed them not the police
A lot of things weren't made clear because it wasn't really that necessary. It's an anthology number 1. So, ain't nobody got time to be telling you no whole backstory. You gotta pack a punch in like 20 mins or so. Number 2, the whole plot is real life issues in the black community with a supernatural twist..... emphasis on the word "supernatural". Supernatural stuff usually can't be explained anyway. So, it wasn't really necessary to have a whole history lesson in who, what and why things were happening the way the were. I think y'all just might have been trying to delve too deep, instead of just letting the movie be what it is, very millennial mentality of you.(jkng) 😆😆😆No disrespect, just saying 🙂✌️
I saw DC and immediately had to tune in!
This channel is awesome! Thanks for reviewing my favorite movies🎬 ESP THIS ONE!
It was supposed to be embombing fluid "the Gatorade" 😂😂😂😂
Right, like there was so much they got wrong with the details.
😎 Seen this movie a thousand times➿️ since it came out, Had it on VHS📼, I know all the words🎬 & I had the Soundtrack!🎶... Trust, I know this movie start 2 finish!🎞... Theres alot of hit & miss⚠️ info given in this review & alot of important details that were overlooked during each breakdown they gave🧏🏾♀️, tho 4 the most part, they took us down memory lane 4sho!🙆🏾♀️🔙
Lets touch on the missing links💁🏾♀️:
So basically, Lil Homie Ball set up conversation 4 Sims 2 start telling each story the moment Ball asked 🤷🏾♂️"So what happened 2 him?"... 🤦🏾
As far as 1️⃣st Chapter, Clarence basically fucked up by not stepping in 2 save Moorhouse & allowed those dirty cops 2 get away with murder & ruined his good name by the drugs they planted & injected him with.💉 Clarence was haunted by Moorhouse 👺because of it turning him into a full blown drunk.🍺🥃 It wasnt until the 1 year anniversary of Moorhouses death that his ghost, 👻who is obviously unrested & pissed at all of them👺, had Clarence gather all those cops 🚔& bring them 2 his grave🪦, which was the least he could have done at that point after the damage was done a year earlier. Moorhouse didnt pop out until they were all summoned 2 him🪦 so he could take them all out.🩸 As far as the green fluid,🧪⚗️ I always figured it 2 be a metaphor 4 how they killed him with the drug injection 💉& tarnished his name📢.. & the memorial painting on wall was in a location that overlooked a crack alley basically so it made sense 2 me at the time. There wasnt anything 2 do with magical gouls & shit, it was simply revenge👺. Clarence paid the price 4 his involvement by taking the rap 4 killing those 3 cops⚖️ & went mad from it. 🏥
Chapter 2️⃣ was all about the mind🧠, perception💭, & reality👁 of Walter!👦🏿 Ones Perception💭 is ones Reality👁🤲🏾, therefore, heres a lil boy who lived with a Monster👺 whos hurting him 👊🏾left & right 💪🏾2 where it caused the mother 2 keep moving towns 🏘& schools because of the abuse 👊🏾& Walters perception💭 & telling storys 🗣of the Monster at home🏚. Its because of the moms boyfriend👤 continued 2 follow them🆘️, cause if U pay attention, Walter is the new kid in school, after that fight👊🏾 that same day, 👩🏾⚕️the nurse says the bruise on his eye was weeks old & forward 2 the reveal of Walters fresh bruise on his arm, he told the 🧑🏿🏫teacher "Hes Back!". So its Walters reality🤲🏾 that he tries 2 get others 2 see👀 that he continues 2 get punished 4👊🏾. When Walter believed that he could finally fight back💪🏾 by destroying the drawing✍️🏿 he drew of the things that scared him🙈, the teacher🧑🏿🏫 took the drawing✍️🏿 from him but he knocked over the drawing of the bully🃏 Tyrone, & when Walter crumbled it up, he saw it caused the kid 2 break every bone🦴 in his body! U really think Walter would be able 2 draw those types of things at home?🤨... It was always clear 2 me that the mother Sissy🧖🏽♀️ wasn't getting beat at 1st, just her son👦🏿 was cause she had the ability 2 throw men off with her sexuality🧖🏽♀️ as she tried 2 do with his teacher🧑🏿🏫 2 throw him off subject, saying her son is clumsy 🤦🏾♀️& whatnot. Once the topic of the Monster was brought up is when shit got real.🤌🏿 The mother had been trying 2 get her son 2 stop🙅🏾♀️ telling folks about the Monster 4 his sake. Now remembering that this story touches base on what goes on in the lives & more importantly, in the mind🧠 of abused children👫🏿 & their family situation👥️️. Being evil David Allen Grier name was Monster👺, he 4sho lived up 2 his name & thats exactly what Walter saw👀 when he seen him👁. Notice the Monsters visual perception was that of the devil 👹at the end? It wasnt until Sissy finally stepped in 2 save her son that the Monster turned & beat her ass! Hear evil David say "I see he aint the only one that need a bare ass whoopin!"💪🏾... Thats what caused Sissy 2 grab that skillet🍳 & swing on his ass but failed! Walter grabbed the drawing & it was a wrap!☠️ ...
Chapter 3️⃣ was what made this movie what it was! Fuckin Duke🇬🇧 was hilarious! "I killed one of U, I'll kill U all! YOU LIL NIGGLETS!"☻️... And they pretty much covered the main facts👍🏾 about this chapter. ☝🏾Except the part about wanting to keep the painted mural, .. he actually said "I'ma paint the whole thing over after the election!"🎨. ☻️Them dolls did him in tho!👵🏿👬🏿👫🏿👭🏿 So on point!💯👏🏾🙌🏾
Chapter 4️⃣Krazy K🤬 they got all fucked up leading into the overall story being told in itself. 🤏🏾So they got the concept of it all relating 2 what choice Jerome aka 🤬Krazy K would end up choosing that would decide his faith in end.💁🏾♀️ The option he was given 2 endure this program & procedures was all 2 👁wake him up 2 the real issue at hand!🤌🏿 Krazy K's🤬 encounter with the clansman🤚🏻 & during the flashback exercise when he was tied & spinning on the cot, playing Spice 1's Born 2 Die during that whole scene while 📽showing him the same significance🤌🏿 between black folks been killed, tortured, & hung back in the day✊🏿, only 2 now having black folks being killed by their own people thru gang violence🙏🏿, etc. (Thats actually the only rap song U hear clearly throughout this movie aside from the credits) But all that was 2 set him up 4 how he would handle that last sensory exercise where he needed 2 confront all the people he killed! All in all, 🙅🏿HE AINT GIVE A FUCK🖕🏿, therefore he sealed his own faith.☠️
Overall, the fact of how 👹Sims even knew what happened 2 Krazy K🤬 is what set off everybody 😤& got his ass pistol whooped!😡... So just like the purgatory concept of Krazy Ks🤬 chapter, so was the entire movie 4 the 3 homies who were all killed by Krazy Ks homies☝🏿, not the cops!🙅🏾♀️👮🏽♂️...
😈"I guess... U didn't make it!".... ⚰️😱👹🔥💀
Excellent breakdown
When are y’all doing South Central? I like this and. Seeing y’all break down movies, Black movies especially 🎉
One of my new favorite shows!!! Keep it going brothas!
"Oh yeah the doo-doo....The poopity pop"
RIP Clerence Williams III
53:01 Look At His Face! 🤣🤣🤣
1:06:46 too 😂😂😂😂
That welcome to hell scene messed me up as a child
A Clockwork Orange + Tales From The Crypt + Menace II Society = Tales From the Hood
In 95 people weren’t quick to report abuse like now
For 95 it was classic, the movie took tales from the hood which is the name of the movie. The last seen the devil tells the audience what happens and why they are in the coffins.
To be fair, the mother didn't know the teacher was coming. And it wasn't like she was pushing up on the teacher in front of "the monster". But I also think that if she thought she could possibly seduce the teacher, it may have been a possible way out of her life for her and her kid. I mean he was caring and supportive.🤷 And the boy never said his mother didn't believe him. He told the teacher that "the monster" said nobody would believe him. Man, y'all gotta pay closer attention to detail.💯🤣✌️ I don't think drinking and watching movies would be the best thing, y'all off with a lot of details when y'all sober.🤣🤣
I need these more often
Great review, but the cops didn’t kill them, it was some of Crazy K friends. Simms said it before he transformed.
Man, these dudes didn't pay attention to detail for isht 🤣 There was so much stuff they got wrong.💯😆
@@sagittarius420cheefie I was disappointed they missed the points of a lot of stuff. I think they were basing how things are today. In 95 it was different . Still a fan and liking the series but respectfully disagree with many of their takes on this film
The police didn’t kill the 3 guys originally at the end Clarence Thomas tells them that Krazy K’s homies came back & got revenge they should’ve showed it in the movie but hey 🤷🏽♂️.
Bruh.. you missed Kieth Davis, he played tales for the hood 2
I remember seeing tales from the hood..on one of them big back
bootlegs case tape. as a child this movie was the scariest movie i ever seen..
Let me turn off my ADHD & rewatch this movie.
Anthologies are perfect for this new ADHD dopamine world. Gives you a thrill, then on to the next one. I actually don't understand why they don't capitalize off of horror anthology movies in this day and age.
Pretty much the golden age of hood movies for me. Can’t tell you how many times i saw the reruns on cable back then. Funny and scary is always a good combo.
Great job on this guy's 👌🏾I'm finna
Watch all this🤣 new sub here.
The reason why they had him draw him as a monster is because it's like nobody believes him becuz we seeing the dad as a monster threw a kids eyes that waz the point not just cuz he had a monster tatt
Remember the shadow of David Allan Grier when he went to his room his perception seen the baffomet devil as what the mortician turn to at the end
I liked the dolls tale cuz it reminded me of one of my fav movies from back in the day Puppet Master.
Funny thing Paula Jai Parker and Tisha Campbell (Gina from Martin) are real life sisters
Evil David Allen G. 😂
Let's be clear. There is nothing funny about domestic abuse. However, David Alan Grier hopping the stairway banister was nothing short of hilarious in a very serious scene.
I loved the soundtrack especially Spice 1 cut Born II Die
Because Paula and Tasha, our sisters
I was about 12 or 13 when I saw this for the first time .. scared the dog s t outa me 😂😂!!!
I still get creeped out by the nig glets story!!
13:06 Bro I've always said this about Clarence throwing that bottle like Nigga you broke a whole mirror by the bed 🤦♂️ get glass in ya feet lol
I loved this movie as a jitt... sadly every subject they covered is just as bad if not worse over 30 years later🤦🏿♂️🤬😢
Oh 💩 It's Cleanthony! Jaguar-baby-bacon to you my boy! ✌🏾
I lived in san diego at the time when it first came out. I was 7 & I remember the posters at bus stops & the radio commercials were scary. Overall the movie scared the crap out of me when I first seen it. Kept the light on as a kid. But as I got older I understood the human side of the stories. This stuff still goes on today.
The green shit was surge lol
So many funny one liners from this movie to count… 😂
But the cops didn’t shoot those three gang members. The devil guy told them that what do you think was going to happen after you shot Krazy K? That his homies ran up on you guys and killed all your three too. Basically, the cycle continued. What had happened with Krazy K offer is that he would have gotten saved by the cops if he had accepted to redeem his old ways and those guys would have gotten killed while they were exchanging gun shots with the cops but he didn’t give a f, so those guys shot him. I don’t think the cops showed up because if they did and they got shot, those guys would have been wearing the same clothes without knowing that they were killed.
This was a great 🎥 movie
Yo Fat Skeletor a genius for this channel. 💯
Now this here is gonna be lit!!! One of my favorite all-time horror flicks!
TFTH in my Top 5
Now we can say we it was clear the Silhouette was them because we’ve watch the film a few times, but initially you didn’t think about it, the shots were quick
How tone and dc looks like Scarface😂😂😂
Ball recast as Franklin homie from snowfall
Classic film I've watched since 6YO #1996, true black horror film that became a cult classic based on it sending messages through each story, highly creative with a hell of a ending!
This is one of my favorite movies. I just started watching this channel & i’m loving it. Can we please get reviews on the following black horror movies:
Ganja & Hess
Blackula
Scream Blackula Scream
Abby
JD’s Revenge
Sugar Hill (70s movie)
Def By Temptation
Candyman
Bones
They made a Tales From the Hood 2. It came out on Netflix a few years ago. The original is better lol
The sequels we're trash.
I think Walter was being SA more than physically being beaten
Need some visuals with the conversation
It’s a four cause I was legitimately afraid.
Great Movie!
+ if you ever do a parody of this movie i wanna audition for Mr Sims.
Evil David Allen Grier. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Big fan of DC and his cousin G
I love this film & soundtrack was fire.
I hate David Allen Grier to this day for that role. He played it too well
Yall were funny but didn't do this review justice.
I rewatched this movie last year and noticed they took the music out of the intro. I tried looking for the original intro but could never find it. Maybe it's some kinda Mandela Effect 🤷🏾♂️
What music the slow creepy music with the skeleton?
@@sagittarius420cheefie no it was a rap song. I can't remember the name of it but this proves that im in an alternate reality
@@Kaio_Kid I don’t remember a rap song ever at the beginning
Even in 95
Theres was never any rap song playing in the beginning... it was an instrumental piano style tune playing... U must be thinking of Crazy K's story during the flashback exercise when he was tied & spinning on the cot, they played Spice 1's Born 2 Die during that whole scene while showing him the same significance between black folks been killed, tortured, & hung back in the day, only 2 now having black folks being killed by their own people thru gang violence, etc. Its actually the only rap song U hear clearly throughout this movie aside from the credits! (Seen this movie a thousand times since it came out, Had it on VHS, I know all the words & I had the Soundtrack!)... Trust, I know this movie start 2 finish!... Theres alot of hit & miss info given in this review & alot of important details that were overlooked during each breakdown they gave, tho 4 the most part, they took us down memory lane 4sho!
@@4Firehott I think you just solved the case. The only crazy part is my mama said the same thing about the song missing on the intro. Maybe our memories are foggy cuz it's been a while since we both saw the movie. Thank you for clearing that up because I thought I was going crazy 😅
I give it to you. The precursor to jordan peele.
Paula J Parker and Tisha Campbell are step sisters!
Will y’all be reviewing the movie Bones with Snoop Dogg?
This movie was excellent.i don't appreciate it even I was younger but my mature eyes definitely see the the project for what it really was. You can't really roast the timelines because they're shorts. You have to pack a lot in a constricted amount if time. And it's meant to be campy. You're over analyzing.
Keith David should play the devil in a remake...
Yes and no. I want a real remake not them dumb ass sequels they made
Not saying everything does. But a remake with him would be better than that dumb ass sequel
"take it easy" this ain't yo mothafuckin house
Funny part is that the attempted sequels was trash. Keith david is always a bright part in everything he does though. I will try to rewatch these just to make sure.
Yall gotta see tales from thr hood 2. First story just as weird as in the first one
