Hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg takes horror fans on a ride through the scary underside of life in the 'hood in this horror anthology. The self-described "gatekeeper of the after-party" (Snoop Dogg) introduces three stories of life in a ghetto neighborhood in which the unscrupulous get what's coming to them. Posie (Daniella Alonso) is a nice girl who turns mean when a gang of thugs murder her mother. Posie swears revenge against the gangsters, but isn't sure what to do until she encounters a member

Playing the "Crib Keeper" in this urban takeoff on Tales From the Crypt, Snoop Dogg somehow manages to project an aura of detached suavity even under these cheesy circumstances.
Every story is more trite and less interesting than the one before it, with Snoop taunting the viewer at every turn.
The lessons offered are pretty good -- misuse of power, ego and friendship among them. But the stories are very predictable, and a bit too bloody, and the acting is uneven.
Sloppily directed, often amateurishly acted and fixated on booty and blood, Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror is nevertheless gleefully disgusting.
There's a certain cartoony fun to these simple morality stories, but mostly they serve as an excuse for laughably lame gore.
Low-budget, tasteless and ridiculous but also fun, in an Old School grindhouse way, as gangsta graffiti artists, not-keeping-it-real rappers and evil rednecks receive their supposedly just desserts (would you believe a 40-ounce through the skull?).
A predictable, cheesy attempt at "splatstick" that doesn't quite work.
Take Hood of Horrors for what it is. Some will enjoy any excuse for gratuitous violence. It certainly doesn't take itself seriously. But most fans can find plenty of better horror movies to satisfy the same need.
Hood of Horror gets dangerously close to minstrel show mentality that Spike Lee has always warned us about.
Oh, that Snoop. Apparantly Bones never scared him away from the genre and he now returns with this anthology film. In it's favour, it is entertaining in a cheesy way and quite gory, but the stories...oh dear. They remind me of an anthology novel I wrote when maybe 10 (well I considered it a novel) called Curse of
