In 1995, Tales from the Hood mixed unflinching horror with surreal comedy to make a fun film with a message that's still relevant today. Produced by Spike Lee, this black horror movie was initially a failure at the box office, but over time, it's become one of the most highly regarded horror anthology films of the 20th century.

Tales from the Hood is a lot of things: It’s a fun movie, it’s a film that takes a serious look at the systemic issues affecting people of color, and it’s also the kind of movie that has tiny killer dolls. The journey that Tales from the Hood went on to go from cult classic to something that’s taught in schools is astounding. Watching it now, the film feels more important than ever.
