The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

The "trilogy of terror" has been a horror movie staple ever since Vincent Price made a name for himself in the 1960's starring in all those Roger Corman adaptations of Edgar Allen Poe short stories. Now, 40 years later, director Stacy Title is attempting to carry on that tradition with "Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror," as dimwitted and cheapjack a B-movie travesty as we've come across in quite some time.Acting as a sort of gangsta' rap version of Elvira, Snoop Dogg serves as the host of the show, introducing us to the three stories, then providing a sermonizing moral as wrap-up when each of them is finished. The first episode, entitled "Crossed Out," tells of a young woman given the power to supernaturally exterminate all the graffiti artists in her neighborhood simply by spray-painting a giant red x through their work. The second entry, "The Scumlord," is a parodic tale of a group of grizzled Vietnam vets who turn the tables on their racist landlord. The third, "Rapsody Askew," is a confused account of a rap star forced to face divine judgment for the error-filled life he's led.Despite the movie's title, there isn't a single suspenseful moment in any of the segments, which, when taken together, feel like a trio of under-conceived and under-nourished rejects from the old "Twilight Zone" series. As the two "name" players in the cast, Billy Dee Williams and Jason Alexander are literally the only things separating "Hood of Horror" from your average amateur movie shot in someone's backyard on 8-millimeter. Even the gore is remarkably over-the-top and cartoon-like in nature, the kind of thing one would expect from a group of precocious high school students in their first experience with a camera.As uninteresting as it is uninspired, "Hood of Horror" gives anthology films a bad name.

Snoop Dogg's Hood Of Horror was actually a pretty cool movie. It's got 3 stories from the Hood in one movie. I was the only one watching the movie in my theater.... I guess the movie didn't get advertised very well. I'm glad I saw it though, because the next day the movie was gone! It's really more of a dark horror comedy. I found nothing scary at all, mostly just funny. The first story is about a girl named Posie (Same girl that played in Hills Have Eyes 2 as Missy) who goes around spray painting artwork. Then she runs into Danny Trejo and he gives her a special power. It had some pretty graphic parts too, one involving a guy getting killed by a beer bottle! The second story is about this guy who goes to live with these Vietnam veterans in order to get his dad's money. He's in for a surprise though later on. One scene involves his lovely hot wife blowing up! The last story is about these rappers trying to make it big. His friend dies in a horrible accident, and then comes back for revenge. This movie had a really good cast and some well known actors/actresses. You've got Snoop Dogg, Danny, Trejo, Diamond Dalls Page, Jason Alexander, Aries Spears, and Lin Shaye who has played in a lot of horror movies. Most people remember her as the crazy perverted landlord from King Pin. It was a fun movie though, great horror comedy. The music was also sweet too; the only think I didn't like about this movie was the anime looking animation in the movie. It felt so out of place, it would have been better if they used real people. I guess they wanted to save money or something. Still a fun movie to watch though. If you liked this movie I also recommend Bones with Snoop Dogg. Another good Horror in the Hood movie is Tales From The Hood. It's got some good stories and it takes place in the hood!

Yes it is a hip hop version of Tales from the Crypt, with Snoop Dogg as the Crypt ... I mean the story teller! You'll get treated to three different stories here. And they are surprisingly good ... or at least they don't really suck! There are the gross ideas here and there and the clichés have to be used (it seems), but you'll get a lot of familiar faces (Danny Trejo and others), that do support the small stories/plots. It's good fun, the effects are decent, the acting is OK for horror, but it's not top notch. And the intermissions, are not that good, I would even say they do divert too much! That means the crypt keeper can rest ... in peace actually ;o)
