Tales from the Hood 2 (2018 Video)
8/10
Message of film is on point
18 July 2018
Just like the first film, the sequel is just as outrageous, campy, over the top, and weird. Also similar to the first film is the sociopolitical commentary that sadly still rings just as true in 2018 as it did in 1995.

The Seance story (2nd story about a fake psychic) is by far the best. It was great character development, fantastic actors, and it takes its time to really tell a full story.

The first ("Golly") and third (about Vampires and date rape) could have used a bit more development, but still go the message across.

The third film (based on the true story of Emmett Till) has a completely different tone than the others- its much more serious, poignant, and could stand alone as a short film.

If anything, it reminds you to check your privilege, look around you, and see life from a different perspective. It's also has some great actors- Keith David, Kendrick Brown, Bryan Batt, Creighton Thomas, just to name a few.
