Having just revisited New Line CInema’s 1995 Tales From the Good, I couldn’t believe how socially relevant it was. In fact, 20 years later the movie may be even more prevalent now than when it was released. This must-see anthology stars Clarence Williams III as a funeral director tells four strange tales of horror with an African American focus to three drug dealers he traps in his place of business.

Being that Tales From the Hood is so important by today’s standards, it’s not at all surprising that the original filmmakers – writer/director Rusty Cundieff and co-writer/producer Darin Scott – have reteamed on a new tale, Tales From the Crib.

In the new anthology, which recently wrapped production in Los Angeles, “With the maliciously gleeful MISTER MALEVOLENT as our host, we witness an anthology of stories about terrible people who wind up getting a real taste of their own medicine…”

A casting call reveals that Mister Malevolent is a play on Rod Serling, an eccentric but articulate man who clearly relishes a good story about bad people. He is our guide into the Tales of the Crib, thus introducing each story and has a few words to say about how they end up…

The titles fro each segment include: “White Flight”, “Ratters”, “The Prosecutor”, “The Samaritan”, “Mates”, “Hate Radio”, and “The Healer”. You can read all about the film at the following breakdown.

The film allegedly stars Galen Howard, Michael Felix, Melissa Hayden, and Salina Duplessis, with Duplessis mentioning that she acted opposite Danny Trejo on social media.

Michael Mendelsohn and Jim Steele produce, with casting director Christine Sheaks also co-producing.

Scream Factory is releasing the original Tales From the Hood on Blu-ray April 18th

Being that I actually enjoyed Tales from the Hood, my interest has piqued.
