callanvass Hood Of Horror is a Horror anthology I saw a while back, but never got around to reviewing, and as a result it's erased from my memory, but i'll do my best. Basically Snoop Dog decides to imitate Creepshow, only with B grade actors, and replacing it with tons of gracious gore. There's no thrills here, the dialog is incredibly silly, along with Snoop Dog showing up here and there. I am very non picky with Horror Antholigies, I enjoy most of them, but here there is honestly not much to enjoy, and the stories are pretty mediocre.Bottom line. Hood of Horror isn't as bad as I thought, but not anything noteworthy either. It's well below average, and isn't something I'm gonna see again any time soon. You could do worse then this I suppose, but wait for telly, and if nothing else is on.4/10

preppy-3 Snopp Dogg plays HOH (Hound of Hell) and relates three stories that describes how certain people ended up in hell. Unfortunately the viewer is forced to watch. The first has a headstrong young black girl determined to stop all gang members after witnessing her mother's murder. She gains a mystical power to kill people (don't ask) but the tale has a "tragic" and ridiculously pointless ending. The second has an obnoxious southern boy (well played by Anson Mount) who basically takes advantage of three elderly black war vets who are his tenants. You'll see the ending coming a mile away. The third I had trouble concentrating on. I was so bored I kept falling asleep! Something about a rapper paying for something wrong he did...or something. I really didn't care.The stories are dull--totally predictable and never even remotely scary. The dialogue just consists of actors swearing as much as possible in between dull stretches of exposition (if you can call it that). Also there are animated sequences introducing the film and in between the stories. They're somewhat interesting--but the animation is lousy. Dogg, as our host, is irritating and dull. In fact he's downright boring! He's so bad it makes you appreciate his "singing" more! The actors are, for the most part, not bad (Mount and Ernie Hudson are the best) but they're defeated by boring stories and dialogue. Even the gratuitous blood and gore isn't good! This bombed and disappeared quickly. Hopefully it will be a loooonnnggggg time before Dogg makes another horror film! Bottom of the barrel here. A 1.

Vomitron_G Let me tell you straight up that if you have issues with rather low-budget anthology-movies or simply can't stand Snoop Dogg, you just better stay away from HOOD OF HORROR. I personally think Snoop's always good for a laugh or two. So, I'm rating this flick solely on fun-factor, because it's pretty much light-years away from being a stellar horror-movie.The first segment has a good-looking ghetto-gal being granted super-powers by evil voodoo-man Danny Trejo to take on her whole graffiti-spraying neighborhood. The second one has a yuppie-couple move in with some Vietnam-vets. The greedy couple has a hidden agenda of their own, and naturally the two love-birds don't get along very well with the Vietnam-vets. Third and final segment shows us that the price of fame always catches up with you, no matter how big a rap-star you are. And when you've attained wealth and stardom in a rather dubious manner, you're in for some real 'shiiiit'.All stories have some very nasty and entertaining blood 'n' gore effects. Especially the climax of the second segment is pretty hilarious. The scene (first segment) that proofs sipping on gin & juice can cause a nasty splitting head-ache is a total hoot! Da Doggster himself is indeed worth a laugh or two (just watch out for the scene were he says "Doggy want a bone?" and then "boom!" goes the gun), but he didn't seem to have had a lot of directing guidelines. I suppose he must have thought his coolness was all it would take to play the part. His Cribkeeper character (or whatever it's called in the movie) has a nice back-ground story, told to us by a slick-looking anime-style animated wrap-around story. In addition, at the end of the movie, we get some sort of video-clip (featuring some of the cast members - including a devil-midget) of a Snoop Dogg song (apparantly especially written for the soundtrack for HOOD OF HORROR). He's just rapping it up on some fiery ghetto-set with a lot of demon-babes shaking their T&A. Pretty dumb song too, by the way, that seems to have been written and recorded in just one hour. The video-clip itself is of the same "cinematographic" quality as the rest of the movie (which means: tolerable and watchable).Final judgement: No flunk from Da Vomitron, because this flick follows the rules of an anthology movie nicely (three segments with a nice twist at the end, which you may or may not see coming and a fun wrap-around story). The rather low-budget didn't make 'em skimp on the decent gore-effects. The don't-take-it-all-serious vibe and Da Doggster's witty nonsense made it all a bit more enjoyable too.Now if you want to see a really good "horror in the hood" anthology movie, I full-heartedly recommend TALES FROM THE HOOD. At least Snoop Dogg's HOOD OF HORROR is a lot better than insufferable crap-fests like CUTTHROAT ALLEY and DA HIP HOP WITCH (dare I even watch HOOD OF THE LIVING DEAD? Anyone?), but it still remains just an entertaining nonsensical time-waster. A fun quickie, if you please.

r34per I just recently seen a screener of Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror. I must say, I was very pleased. Even though the film didn't have very good production values, it used the budget well. It made you laugh, had gross-out gore, and did things a lot of movies have never attempted.The movie is focused around three people, and it shows their stories with introductions form Snoop Dogg. The movie has some really impressive anime/cartoon style gunfights and introductions, that really make this film unique from "Tales from the Hood". Snoop Dogg Plays HOH/Devon the Cryptkeeper, and does a really good job being funny and gross at the same time. We all know that Snoop Dogg disgraced himself in "Bones", but in my eyes, he redeemed himself.The main part of the film I disliked is the character of "Posie", who is played by Daniella Alonso. Her acting makes you wonder if she's being funny, or just sucks. Other than that, I really enjoyed the film.Hilarious Gore Scenes, Funny Lines, and Unique Animation really made this film what it is. Too me, you cant compare it much with "Tales from the Hood", because they are too different type of films. I think if "Tales From the Hood" was made during this time, it might have this amount of gore, but who knows.Good flick, cant wait till it comes out on DVD!
