Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror

    This next movie is one of my two faverte urban horror movies.  Funny thing both star Snoop Doggy Dogg aka Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion.  Hood of Horror (aka Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror) is a horror film adaptation of a fictional comic book, which is an anthology of three short tales set in an urban milieu in a style reminiscent of Tales From The Crypt and Tales from the Hood. The movie debuted at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. The American premiere was on October 18, 2006 at Mann's Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles. It was also the "secret" ninth film screened in the 8 Films to Die For film festival on November 19, 2006. It opened worldwide in theaters on May 4, 2007.  The budget was $5,000,000 (estimated), but the box office gross was $328,000 (USA, opening weekend May 6, 2007).  It features Snoop Dogg him self, Danny Trejo, Diamond Dallas Page, and even Mr. Iron Lung Method Man.    Music wise it is perfectly done using songs from Snoop Dogg, Al Kapone, and C-Ride. 
    The cartoon at the beganing was an exiting opening credits and set the mood of the show very well.  It was also a nice background of Snoop's 3 carictors in this,  Hound of Hell, Devon, and the Narrator. 
    The first story, Crossed Out, Fetures a female tagger named Posie (Daniella Alonso) who is given the power of death by the mysterious Derelict, another Hound Of Hell.  The ending to this story is very creating and not something that I expected the first time I watched this.  I remember seeing it and yelling, "Yo that shit's sit!"... I was the only one in the room. 
    The second storie is The Scumlord.  A white trash bigoted couple, Tex Woods Jr. (Anson Mount) and Tiffany (Brande Roderick) are given the chance at inheritance. Tex's father, Tex Woods Sr. (Chuck Hicks) dies "mysteriously", but in order for them to receive the inheritance, they have to live with some black Vietnam vets (Ernie Hudson, Richard Gant, Tucker Smallwood and L. Kenneth Richardson) that served under Tex's father for a year.  Right off the bat I wanted to kill these two Honkys my damn self.   Let's just say, I enjoyed watching Tex Woods Jr & Tiffany suffer. 
    The last story is Rapsody Askew,  a new rapper named SOD (Pooch Hall) is finally starting to gain recognition and fame. During an awards show after party, he is confronted by Clara (Lin Shaye), a mysterious woman who seemingly stops time (implying she too is a Hound of Hell).  The twist in this story was respectable and was very entertaining. 
    The humer in this movie is what I think I like the most.  I deffinatly recamend this movie.
