DVD Review: American Nightmares (2018)

Two computer hackers run afoul of Mister Malevolent (the legend himself Danny Trejo) and his sidekick (Nichelle Nichols…I know, what the actual fuck, amirite?) who subject them to tales o’ terror in the mighty arcane anthology manner! Thus begins the new fright flick from Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott (Tales From The Hood and Tales From The Hood 2). First up is Mates; the tale of a woman trying out a new online dating site after experiencing a bad romance (and raising a glass to her love of dick…and no, I’m not kidding). Well the date has an electrifying secret to say the least… This was a bit of a lackluster way to start the collection of tales, as this one isn’t great…or bad…it just…is. Next up comes The Prosecution, which involves an Attorney General setting his sights on becoming the Governor of Texas after a high profile conviction. As you can easily guess, that guilty party makes an escape

First Image Arrives From Tales From The Hood 2

Back in January, we shared the news that after 22 years Rusty Cundieff‘s Tales from the Hood was finally getting a sequel. Directed by Darin Scott, who co-wrote the original, Tales from the Hood 2 stars Keith David (They Live, “Greenleaf”) as Mr. Simms, the role played by Clarence Williams III in the 1995 anthology. Today, we can share the first look at David as Mr. Simms via Cundieff’s Twitter account. pic.twitter.com/fXXFE53fcA — Rusty Cundieff (@RustyCundieff) May 23, 2018 While a lot of the details of the sequel have not been released, we do know that it is filming in New Orleans and that during location scouting Cundieff was eyeing the home of Anne Rice as a possible location. We can also report that Cundieff has announced that Christopher Young (Tales from the Hood, Hellraiser) will be returning to score the film.

‘Tales From The Hood II’ Moves Closer To Production

Rusty Cundieff’s 1995 Tales From the Hood is finally getting a sequel 20 years after its release. A few months ago Cundieff teased the sequel with a photo he tweeted during location scouting, which he quickly deleted. Cundieff also hinted that we might see the return of the creepy doll from the first film that was featured in the “KKK Comeuppance” segment which featured haunted dolls animated by the souls of slaves. Good Golly. pic.twitter.com/deGdw0m6QA — Rusty Cundieff (@RustyCundieff) March 9, 2018 Following a question from a fan, he revealed that cast was nearly complete. Another tweet was shared on Cundieff’s news feed of a newspaper. If you look closely, you will see that filming will take place in Louisiana and that the film, which still hasn’t officially been announced, has an estimated budget of $3.2 million. EXCITED!!! I hope to work with the GREAT @RustyCundieff on his latest project. #talesfromthehood #nola #film @projectgumbeaux pic.twitter.com/gBnf45uANR — The Don Diva Trell

‘Tales From The Hood’ Getting A Sequel After 22 Years!

Back in 1995 Rusty Cundieff’s anthology, Tales From the Hood was released. While we have seen plenty of anthologies since none have captured Tales From the Hood‘s unique flavor. However, is about to change, after 22 years the movie is finally getting a sequel! I know, it’s awesome, right? The news came via writer/director Rusty Cundieff’s Twitter account in a now-deleted tweet on January 5, 2018, that said, “In New Orleans Location scouting for Tales From The Hood 2 This is part of Anne Rice’s old Home and where she held her LeStat parties.” He confirmed the film again earlier tonight in a tweet which reads, “Can’t scream it but…yeah…” and featured an image from the original movie. https://twitter.com/RustyCundieff/status/949374308215861249 Cundieff has had several projects since Tales From the Hood was released including directing episodes of ‘Chappelle’s Show’, ‘The Hustle’, and the comedy series ‘Black Jesus’.
