Tales from the Hood 3, 2020 – ★★
I really didn’t like any of the individual stories. Used every played out cliche in the book.

The Mill at Calder’s End and Roid Rage were the best segments by far. The rest of them had natural ending points but they just kept going on and on.
Nobody out there is making films like Sean Baker. The way he gets such naturalistic performances out of his actors, many who have never acted before, is truly remarkable.
I was really on board with this one until they started trying to give Daniel some mythological backstory. The film really didn’t need that aspect.
I had some problems with the film’s pacing but I give it huge props for the ample amounts of practical gore.
I don’t know what took me so long to finally check this one out. Flanagan can sure shoot interesting movies and shows. I’m glad he’s out there doing his thing.
Marginally better than the first one. Everyone just needs to agree to stop trying to make Jacob Goodnight happen.
Bottom of the barrel stuff here. This was filmed during the heyday of the Torture Porn craze and I can’t believe how tame this is.
Not quite funny or bad enough to put on the same level as a Samurai Cop or Dangerous Men. Still worth checking out for the great chemistry of the two main characters.
Another in a long line of movies to try to recapture the magic of the original. I just don’t think there’s enough there to keep trying. Also trying to address school shootings in a slasher movie probably isn’t the greatest idea.
I found a lot to like in this “requel” even though I’m not a huge fan of any of the original movies.
What if the androids in Blade Runner were even more depressed? Guy Pearce deserves way better than this.
