The plot twist at the end had me :damn: for years.

Yeah that part is why I only seen the movie twice, and it was under the age of 14 or so. Way too creepy and fukked me up bad. I loved horror or comedy growing up, but no longer watch Horror/Thrillers because I go thru a lot of darkness and negativity.


but like you said, it's more of a social commentary flick, so maybe I'll own it on DVD one day, I agree underrated classic.

Criminally underrated black film that deals with a lot of issues I never understood when I was younger.

As a child the movie scared me shytless but I watched it a lot of times and eventually it just became funny to me. As I got older I started noticing the actual messages and overall premise of the movie.

Like Tales from the Crypt, there's multiple stories. The stories are scarier than the "horror theme" in itself. They include police brutality/racism, child abuse/HOH, political racism/c00nery, black on black crime (which, imo, is the saddest and scariest story out of them all), etc.

The plot twist at the end had me :damn: for years.

If you can get past the shoddy CGI, which was actually good during its time of release, then you should note that it's a solid film. Other than that, you can just enjoy one of the best gangsta rap songs/theme songs of all time.

I still remember my "Pro Black" Uncle made me watch it as a kid when it came out and I didnt understand it at all, but then rematched it as an Adult :wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow::wow:

This movie low key should be shown in Universities, amazing film.

Watched it as a kid. Watching it again (after more than a decade) right now. Can't wait for the sequel.
