Years before multi-talented filmmaker/comedian/actor Jordan Peele exploded after the success of his directorial debut 'Get Out', director Rusty Cundieff and executive producer Spike Lee also blurred the lines between traditional Horror with the real-life horrors of the Black community; while also having a little bit of fun with its own premise. 'Tales From The Hood' was released timely, during the heightened popularity of urban-black youth films or "Hood Movies" of the 90s; such as 'Boyz n The Hood', 'Menace 2 Society', 'Set It Off', and 'Juice'. Much like those movies, 'Tales From The Hood' touches upon many hot-button topics like gang violence, racism, and police corruption; topics that are still relevant in today's society.
