Tales from the Hood Deep-Rooted Appreciation

[Apollo Creed]

Hard-Core Convert was the scariest segment


Surprised there was never more black horror flicks.

There was Def By Temptation but it is status, Vampire in Brooklyn too but I consider it more a comedy

The Last Story with Hakeem is literally the story of Chicago kids

Um, you mean ALL of our kids in the black community?

Um, you mean ALL of our kids in the black community?

different neighborhoods and cities face different issues, all stemming from the same root causes.

I watched this, was a good film. I've actually seen/ heard some parts of it I wasnt aware of.

The film provided social commentary on the race situation while using the horror genre to narrate. Brilliantly done

Thing is this was waaaaaay deeper than being a horror flick

Agree. Like you, I saw this movie as a kid, but didn't fully realize the message of it until I watched again a few years ago.

Movie had me shook when I was younger
When he transformed at the end

When the LiL deceased Princess tells Krazy K 'I was just playing in my room when

one of your bullets killed me.' Then this nikka replies 'Bullets ain't got no names on it, ' is the shyt that just Burns my Soul Slow

...Personally, I know two people (teenage girl/young mother) fatally shot, cuz they was

just minding their business walking (going to the pizza shop/coming back from the grocery

store) peacefully in the Hood; when some Mark-Ass-Buster decided to spray the block with no

fukks Given And of course, my heart continues to bleed, when I hear the countless

of other innocent victims gunned down/wipe off this plant, cuz of these Aimless NoHopefortheFuture nikkas destroying their OWN Community

imagine if we had "rehab" centers for real life Crazy K types?

Def by Temptation is a personal classic. I agree we do need more black horror movies. Black exploitation did it a lot back in the day. The last black horror movie I recall was that Snoop dog joint Bones.

"Boy musta had weak bones"

I still quote this in my every day life.

Yea, this movie is a underrated gem, and it's crazy how relevant the issues in the movie are still to this day. Nothing changed over 20 years.

We still in a system of white supremacy.
