Tales from the Hood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tales from the Hood is a 1995 horror film. It was directed by Rusty Cundieff and centres around the 4 stories told to 3 drug dealers by a funeral director named Simms (Clarence Williams III). The dealers have come to the mortuary to collect drugs from the body of a dead friend. The 4 stories are:

• "Rogue Cop Revelation": A dead councilman gets revenge on the crooked cops who killed him and ruined his image.
• "Boys Do Get Bruised": A guidance counselor tries to help a young boy being abused by a monster in this shocking story of child abuse with a disturbing twist ending.
• "KKK Comeuppance": A racist electoral candidate sets up his campaign headquarters in a southern plantation haunted by dolls animated by the souls of tortured slaves and a voodoo witch.
• "Hard Core Convert": A gang member is arrested and subjected to severe psychological and physical torture labeled as re-habilitation.

In the end it is revealed that the drug dealers have all died and are in hell. Simms is actually an entity much resembling most depictions of Satan.

[edit] Trivia

• The monster that the young boy draws repeatedly (resembling his father; who's figure is never seen, but only by a shadow) is the exact sillouette of Satan at the end of the movie.

Clues:

• When the boy is being beaten every night (throughout the whole skit/story of Boys Do Get Bruised), they show us a shadow of the "monster".
