Fantastic!
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
BOOM! LOVED IT! Saw it at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal. Directors Cundieff and Scott weave 4 stories with a wrap around. First, Keith David replaces Clarence Williams III. He BRINGS IT!! Totally believable as Mr. Simms.All of the stories were great, but I really enjoyed "Golly" and "Emmett Till". Taking a modern character and interweaving it with a historical character was very effective."Tales 2" is proof that a horror film can be more than guts and gore, it can have compelling storytelling. "Tales From The Hood 2" deserves to be seen and enjoyedKudos to the Producers and Directors for bringing back the franchise!
Just like the first film, the sequel is just as outrageous, campy, over the top, and weird. Also similar to the first film is the sociopolitical commentary that sadly still rings just as true in 2018 as it did in 1995. The Seance story (2nd story about a fake psychic) is by far the best. It was great character development, fantastic actors, and it takes its time to really tell a full story. The first ("Golly") and third (about Vampires and date rape) could have used a bit more development, but still go the message across.The third film (based on the true story of Emmett Till) has a completely different tone than the others- its much more serious, poignant, and could stand alone as a short film.If anything, it reminds you to check your privilege, look around you, and see life from a different perspective. It's also has some great actors- Keith David, Kendrick Brown, Bryan Batt, Creighton Thomas, just to name a few.
I loved the first one and the seconds was just as good!
Although the tale ''Sacrafice'' is very eye open on the unfortunate US history on civil rights & must of the tales are filled with laughters, I became sick & tired of the racially, sexism BS that was heavy to put onward a liberal hatred of victimhood. Enough of reverse political & please get back to art & genre!
