In the tradition of "Tales From the Crypt,"
"Tales From the Hood" tells four tales of terror.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A couple of scantily clad nurses. A naked woman is seen
through plastic so that nudity is barely evident. A man is shown in very brief briefs.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - A man is beaten up by cops: he's hit, kicked and his head
is pushed through a car window. A man is pushed off a pier in his car. A man urinates on a
grave. A corpse comes out of the grave holding a man's beating heart. A man is attacked by
the corpse and we see his headless body. A man is crucified to a wall with hypodermics and
a hypodermic flies into his mouth. A boy is taunted and beaten up by his classmates,
another boy falls down stairs. In an extended scene a man beats up a woman. A man becomes
a twisted heap on the floor, and he's shown burning. In an extended scene a man is
attacked by malevolent dolls which bite him to death. A man is forced to watch a montage
of lynchings and murders. Murder victims are shown with bloody wounds and mutilated bodies
and faces (one victim is missing half his head and brain matter is evident). A man turns
into a hideous, huge demon and we see Hell, complete with flames and writhing patrons.
PROFANITY 9 - 50+ F-words, 50+ scatological terms, many milder obscenities,
and many racial epithets. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Racism and police brutality, murder, domestic violence
(spouse and child abuse), drugs, gang warfare, lynchings, prison and rehabilitation, the
Ku Klux Klan, Hell.
MESSAGE - Racism is still prevalent today; young African-Americans are
killing each other.
