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.

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)

I just recently seen a screener of Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror. I must say, I was very pleased. Even though the film didn't have very good production values, it used the budget well. It made you laugh, had gross-out gore, and did things a lot of movies have never attempted.The movie is focused around three people, and it shows their stories with introductions form Snoop Dogg. The movie has some really impressive anime/cartoon style gunfights and introductions, that really make this film unique from "Tales from the Hood". Snoop Dogg Plays HOH/Devon the Cryptkeeper, and does a really good job being funny and gross at the same time. We all know that Snoop Dogg disgraced himself in "Bones", but in my eyes, he redeemed himself.The main part of the film I disliked is the character of "Posie", who is played by Daniella Alonso. Her acting makes you wonder if she's being funny, or just sucks. Other than that, I really enjoyed the film.Hilarious Gore Scenes, Funny Lines, and Unique Animation really made this film what it is. Too me, you cant compare it much with "Tales from the Hood", because they are too different type of films. I think if "Tales From the Hood" was made during this time, it might have this amount of gore, but who knows.Good flick, cant wait till it comes out on DVD!
