Planning to watch through Jordan Peele’s movies for the spooky season and thought it’d be nice to expand that out to other movies from POC creatives. My current list includes Sorry to Bother You (another favorite of mine I’ve been meaning to rewatch), Bad Hair, Horror Noire, and Ganja & Hess. Any other movies that fit the theme that you would suggest? They certainly don’t have to stick to African American/Black creatives, and English isn’t a must, but would be preferred.
Tales From the Hood (1995) and Tales From the Hood 2 (2018) were both directed by Rusty Cundieff and written by Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott. They’re horror comedies (Cundieff would go on to direct many of the sketches from Chappelle’s Show (2003) so those might be good options if you want a palate cleanser after more serious fare.
There’s also a third ‘Tales From the Hood’, but I haven’t seen it, so I can’t speak to its quality, but it’s got the same creative team.
