film #21 of hooptober part vii: the new blood
being a big fan of tales from the crypt, i came into tales from the hood hoping that it would meet that level of fun. happily, i can say those hopes were met. rusty cundieff's anthology film captures all the essential elements of a crypt story filtered through perspective unlike that of the typical cryptkeeper-introduced episode: cheesy fun, horror tropes, and social commentary. hood leans heavily into the latter and it works without cundieff and darin scott's screenplay pulls it off without taking anything away from the other elements, anchored by a great "lead" performance from clarence williams iii as mr. simms, the funeral director who guides us his three would-be customers through the tales.
like any anthology, the individual segments vary in quality, but they're all pretty solid from the police brutality story "rogue cop revelation through the domestic abuse tale "boys do get bruised," supernatural revenge segment "kkk comeuppance" and finally the systemically-flawed prison system story of "hard-core convert." each of these has their moments and feature solid acting from a varied cast that know exactly what kind of film they're in. cundieff and cinematographer anthony b. richmond give the film a colorful look and brush important themes while rarely losing track of the entertainment value. like most tales from the crypt episodes, nothing particularly breaks out here into the exceptional. but they're enjoyable and a bit thought-provoking, even if the themes are usually pretty on the nose. it's more or less a fun time throughout and one of the more solid horror anthology efforts i've seen in a while.
