Just me re-enacting my favorite scene w/voice over😂 I’ve always wanted to reenact this scene bc it’s my favorite line in all the #TalesFromthehood movies. The dark Angel sending the wicked to hell 🔥 Really poetic but I’ve always wondered, if there was a 4th Tales from the Hood, can the dark Angel be a woman. I think I can do it😁🤩😈 #horror #tiktok #voiceover #actingchallenge #acting #welcometohell #clarencewilliamsiii #horrormovies #horrorart #horrorcommunity #😎 #actress https://www.instagram.com/p/CNok-RhJZiE/?igshid=ot6iepeuu6z4

On Retribution in Tales from the Hood

As previously mentioned, one of the major themes of the Black horror aesthethic is retribution. By definition, retribution is “punishment that is inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act”. I thought that it would be interesting to examine the ways in which retribution is represented in the 1995 Black horror anthology film Tales from the Hood. I had never heard of this film prior to enrolling in the Black horror aesthetics course at UCLA. As I watched it, the film slowly added itself onto my list of favorite horror films. It is not just horror, but comedy as well; I laughed so many times during the viewing, it was great. But that is besides the fact! Let us go to analyze the stories from Tales from the Hood through the lens of retribution.

There were four (and a half) tales that were told throughout the film; they were “Rogue Cop Revelation”, “Boys Do Get Bruised”, “KKK Comeuppance”, “Hard-Core Convert”, and “The Mortuary” (half tale). Additionally, the major themes from the film and the different stories are police brutality/corruption, Black complicity in racism, child abuse, community responsibility, racism in U.S. politics, slavery, crime, and of course, retribution. I won’t discuss the “half tale” because you’ll just have to watch the movie to figure it out! 

In the “Rogue Cop Revelation” story, the themes of police brutality/corruption and Black complicity in racism are the most prominent. It depicts three white police officers killing an African American coummunity leader who was known for exposing the corruption of the police force. There is also a Black police officer who did nothing to help the community leader, so he is portrayed as being complicit in his murder. The community leader comes back from the dead as a ghost or spirit and he dishes out retribution to all four officers for their responsibility for his death. 

Next, the prevalent themes in “Boys Do Get Bruised” are child abuse and community responsibility. There is a young Black boy who frequently comes to school with bruises and scars and his teacher is worried about him, so he asks who harmed him. The boy always responds with “the monster did it” and he even draws a visual of the monster, but of course the teacher doesn’t believe him. The teacher goes to the boy’s home to speak with his parents only to find out that “the monster” is the boy’s abusive step-father. The boy ends up getting retribution for his suffering by crumpling up his drawing of his step-father, ultimately killing him.

The themes presented in “KKK Comeuppance” are Black complicity in racism, community responsibility, racism in U.S. politics, and slavery. It tells the story of a racist white politican who moves into a house that was being preserved due to its history of being a plantation during the Antebellum period. The politician is warned that the spirits of the slaves are in the house and that he needs to move out immediately, but he ignores the hint. The politician’s African American publicist, who doesn’t call him out on his racist tendencies, dies in the house first after he mysteriously trips and falls down the stairs. Fast forward, the politician ends up getting killed by these dolls or puppets that are being possessed by the souls of African Americans that died during slavery (retribution!). 

The last tale, “Hard-Core Convert”, portrays the major theme of crime and has a hint of Black complicity in racism. This story is a bit hard to describe because there was a lot going on and very graphic imagery was displayed. However, I will say that this was my favorite story from Tales from the Hood. It essentially showed an African American male prisoner getting re-socialization through this psychological intervention that portrayed crime in the Black community as contributing to the issue of white supremacy. I would highly recommend this film to everyone, and I know there is a #2 and maybe #3, but I haven’t watched those movies yet.

Inktober day 16: Tales from the Hood (1995) the sequels definitely varied in quality but this first one still stands out as a solid horror anthology with some great social commentary baked in too #willshorrortober • • • #art #illustration #artist #talesfromthehood #rustycundieff #clarencewilliamsiii #ink #inkbrush #tonepaper #horrornoire #gellyroll #sketch #pencil #cryptkeeper #horror #artwork #horrorlife #blood #vampireart #artoftheday #horrorart #willpottorff #classichorror #90shorror #devil #strathmore #illustrator #inktober #inktober2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGLn4bL99y/?utm_medium=tumblr
