Tales from the Hood

PlotThree young men, Stack, Ball, and Bulldog, visit a funeral home in their neighborhood to buy drugs from the eccentric mortician, Mr. Simms. Upon their arrival, Mr. Simms claims he found the drugs in the casket of a dead man and begins to relate four terrifying tales about the deceased individuals housed within the funeral home.
Each story delves into different social issues such as police brutality, domestic abuse, racism, and gang violence. As Mr. Simms recounts the chilling events that led to each person's death, the young men become increasingly unsettled. The tales serve as moral lessons with a supernatural twist, blending horror with social commentary. As the night progresses, the true reason for the young men's visit to the funeral home and Mr. Simms' intentions are gradually revealed.
