Leave your thoughts about Tales from the Hood.
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanOne of the smartest genre offerings of the era and, quite possibly, the best anthology of its decade. |
| Alexander On FilmChris AlexanderIf Get Out is about the way racism now hides behind America's grinning, faux-liberal facade, Tales is about how poverty and ignorance are causing young black men and women to rage war against themselves. |
