Sure, I have watched the first "Tales from the Hood" back in the day, but I can't really claim to remember it fondly. And I haven't watched the second part. But I was given the chance to sit down and watch the third installment in the series here late in 2020, so of course I did so.

The first tales in "Tales from the Hood 3" was pretty straight forward, albeit rather generic and predictable. Sure, it was watchable, but it was hardly an outstanding tale in any aspect. It was nicely acted though.

Which leads us to the second tale. Now, as a white man, I could be tempted to feel offended by the way the character was portrayed. But of course I am not, because it is a mere movie meant for entertainment, and it was an over-the-top generalization of a prejudice redneck. It was actually enjoyable, although bordering on being tacky and distasteful. But hey, it was avantgarde and I definitely enjoyed that the director of this segment dared to go to that level and length.

The third segment was actually a bit bland and swaying close to being downright boring. It was nicely acted and the concept idea was good enough, but it just wasn't an original tale.

And the fourth tale was definitely the most interesting of the segments for me. It was nicely written and mixed comedy elements into the mixture in a nice manner. The storyline told in this segment was good and enjoyable. Sure, it was predictable, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

As for the narrative storyline that ties all the segments together, well that was also quite good, especially as it had Tony Todd in it. It didn't really make all that much sense, as there was a hint of supernatural elements to it.

I will say that they definitely had put together a good ensemble of actors and actresses for portraying the characters throughout the various segments, and the performers were putting on good jobs. And this, in turn, definitely helped to carry the overall enjoyment of the horror anthology.

For a horror anthology, then "Tales from the Hood 3" was adequately entertaining. It had some interesting enough segments to it, which made up for the less than interesting segments. So, I would say that it is actually worth watching.

My rating of "Tales from the Hood 3" lands on a six out of ten stars.
