Review – Tales from the Hood

With Spike Lee in the executive producer slot, we at least get the chance that this isn’t going to be just another crappy exploitation movie. And in fact it isn’t. As the title indicates, this is a horror anthology piece with all the cheap thrills that implies. However, the stories also have a social conscience, focusing on important issues such as racism, police brutality and domestic violence. My personal favorite tale pits a David-Duke-esque racist politician (played by Corbin Bernsen) against the spirits of murdered enslaved people inhabiting animated dolls. However, all four tales and the bracket are all entertaining and at least a little thought-provoking. Worth seeing
