Tales from the Hood 3 is a horror anthology film directed by Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott, and executive produced by Spike Lee. It serves as the third installment in the Tales from the Hood franchise, which first began in 1995. Like its predecessors, the film consists of several interconnected horror stories that are tied together by a central narrative.
The first of these stories is titled "The Sacrifice" and follows a group of white supremacists who kidnap an African American woman and plan to use her as a sacrifice to their dark lord. The second story, "Robo Hell", explores the dangers of artificial intelligence as a man's robotic assistant starts to exhibit homicidal tendencies. The third story, "Bad Egg", focuses on a struggling couple who find themselves haunted by a demonic egg after they accidentally bring it into their home. Finally, the fourth story, "Date Night", follows a young woman who goes on a blind date with a man who turns out to be a supernatural entity.
Throughout each of these stories, Tales from the Hood 3 intentionally blends elements of horror with social commentary, addressing issues such as racism, police brutality, and socioeconomic inequality. The film features performances from Tony Todd and Lynn Whitfield, among others, and has been praised by critics for its inventive storytelling and ability to deliver scares while also making a political statement.
