October Horror Movie Challenge - Tales From The Hood 2 (2018)

Synopsis: In this horror anthology, a rich business man brings in a renowned teller of dark tales to help program crime-fighting robot.

The Good: Keith David isn't as creepy as Clarence Williams III, but he does a great job as Mr. Simms. One of my favorite performances of the entire film is Bryan Batt as a fake psychic who gets possessed by a real ghost. His segment, Medium, is my favorite. Date Nate might be my second favorite of the stories, just because it deals with predators getting what they deserve. The last story, The Sacrifice, is very heavy-handed but powerful.

The Bad: This film doesn't have budget or studio backing of the original and it shows. I think the first film had a bit more subtlety at times too, which is missed with this film.

Final Thoughts: This movie wasn't as good as the first, but is still a decent horror anthology. Also, there is a post credits scene.
