Tales from the Hood (1995)


A horror by Rusty Cundieff.
A group of young black men meet a mortician in his funeral home, where he has promised to sell them something. He tells them horror stories while they are there.
The first segment is about corrupt cops and the second is about a boy whose mother's boyfriend abuses him. The third segment is what I would call "Tha Puppet Masta". A politician is living in a plantation mansion and is attacked by dolls. The fourth segment is "A Clockwork Watermelon". A criminal is put through "rehabilitation" for a life of crime.
This style of horror seems more like comedy to me and this WAS funny. The special effects REEK of Nightmare on Elm Street goodness and the stories are uber-cheesy. I even thought that the gangsta rap soundtrack fit very well. Overall, it was very entertaining. I'm rating it good.

Fear of a Black Hat (1994)


A mockumentary by Rusty Cundieff.
A film maker follows the career of a rap group.
I usually don't like rap or comedy, but this was funny. They played into all of the rap stereotypes like having guns, their views on women, censorship, etc... They didn't act like it was supposed to be funny, but knowing a little background information makes it very funny. I'm rating this good.
