Blessings Movie Night: Tales from the Hood with Live Score

Portland visual artist Eatcho and musician Roman Norfleet join forces for this month’s Blessings Movie Night with an original live score to TALES FROM THE HOOD (1995). 

A creepy mortician, Mr. Simms (Clarence Williams III), attempts to scare teenage drug dealer Stack (Joe Torry) and his friends straight by telling them four horrifying stories. One is about a guilt-riddled cop (Anthony Griffith) who goes crazy after ignoring his corrupt partner (Michael Massee). He also tells of a meek schoolboy (Brandon Hammond) with terrifying supernatural powers. Although the young thugs want to take their drugs and escape Mr. Simms, he still has two more tales to tell.

Please note: This is not a typical screening. An improvised live score will accompany the film. Remember to be kind and chill.
