Hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg takes horror fans on a ride through the scary underside of life in the 'hood in this horror anthology. The self-described "gatekeeper of the after-party" (Snoop Dogg) intr... read more read more...oduces three stories of life in a ghetto neighborhood in which the unscrupulous get what's coming to them. Posie (Daniella Alonso) is a nice girl who turns mean when a gang of thugs murder her mother. Posie swears revenge against the gangsters, but isn't sure what to do until she encounters a member of the undead (Danny Trejo) who gives her some lessons in bloodthirsty behavior. Next, Tex Woods Jr. (Anson Mount) is a ugly-spirited Southerner who claims ownership of a house belonging to his father after the old man dies at Tex's hands. Tex and his wife, Tiffany (Brande Roderick), waste no time in evicting a handful of impoverished war veterans who were friendly with Tex's dad, but he pushes them too far and Roscoe (Ernie Hudson) leads the former soldiers in a shocking act of revenge. And finally, a rapper who has betrayed most of his friends on the way up gets his just deserts on the way down. Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror also features Billy Dee Williams, Method Man, Jason Alexander, Lin Shaye, and Aries Spears. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Like 'Creepshow', only with the n-word.

    Oh, that Snoop. Apparantly Bones never scared him away from the genre and he now returns with this anthology film. In it's favour, it is entertaining in a cheesy way and quite gory, but the stories...oh dear. They remind me of an anthology novel I wrote when maybe 10 (well I c... read moreonsidered it a novel) called Curse of the Werewolf. Looking back on it, they were gory as hell, but written by a ten year old idjit. Still it was just a little worse written than this.

    So this film is in the vein of Tales from the Crypt and those film that are a trio of horror stories, in this one, Snoop is the story teller. I gotta say, this movie starts off cool. The animated parts are really slick and stylistically done, and the two first stories are pretty... read more good. Great appearances by Danny Trejo and Ernie Hudson, it's really hard not to like them in something, it also has "Jungle Julia", from DEATH PROOF in it, but the final story is stupid as hell, despite the appearance of Diamond Dallas Page, who actually does and terrible job, and Snoop doing and rap song to sume up what you just saw, it leaves a really bad taste in your mouth and makes you feel like this movie was a just a silly piece of shit. So if you go to watch this movie, turn it off after the second story, you'll enjoy it a hell of a lot more and it will only take under an hour of your time.

    better than i expected...not much of a good thing either, stories could have been worked on better...Tales From The Hood > This, tho
  • April 26, 2008
    I didn't know if I would like this movie or not, beacuse I didn't like Bones and was afraid that they would be along the same lines, but I was wrong and this one was so good! I liked the three different stories and how they added animation to it also which made it fun. It had ple... read morently of gore which was nice and it was funny at the same time. I loved watching Snoop Dogg even though he wasn't in it as much as I would have liked. Still a great movie to see.
  • April 12, 2008
    Pretty good movie. I only watched it because it was on FEARnet and was an extra horror fest film. The last story was the best one. The movie was the gangsterish, but it was good.
  • February 24, 2008
    This was horrible. The anime sequernces were cool and if they would have kept that through the whole movie, this would have been better. But with the quality fo the cast, they could have had better production values. Snoop is so charismatic, how can you not like this guy? Sno... read moreop fits right in here. Ernie Hudson did good as well. Everything else though, wasteful.

Playing the "Crib Keeper" in this urban takeoff on Tales From the Crypt, Snoop Dogg somehow manages to project an aura of detached suavity even under these cheesy circumstances.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Every story is more trite and less interesting than the one before it, with Snoop taunting the viewer at every turn. Full Review

Michael Esposito, Chicago Tribune

The lessons offered are pretty good -- misuse of power, ego and friendship among them. But the stories are very predictable, and a bit too bloody, and the acting is uneven. Full Review

John Anderson, Variety

Sloppily directed, often amateurishly acted and fixated on booty and blood, Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror is nevertheless gleefully disgusting. Full Review

There's a certain cartoony fun to these simple morality stories, but mostly they serve as an excuse for laughably lame gore. Full Review

John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)

Low-budget, tasteless and ridiculous but also fun, in an Old School grindhouse way, as gangsta graffiti artists, not-keeping-it-real rappers and evil rednecks receive their supposedly just desserts (w...

A predictable, cheesy attempt at "splatstick" that doesn't quite work. Full Review

Take Hood of Horrors for what it is. Some will enjoy any excuse for gratuitous violence. It certainly doesn't take itself seriously. But most fans can find plenty of better horror movies to satisfy th... Full Review

Hood of Horror gets dangerously close to minstrel show mentality that Spike Lee has always warned us about. Full Review
