this be a very good film if you dig any of the nightmare on elm street series ( preferably part 3 or 4 ) . you can see it have that freddy krueger vibe run through it vein . right down to the colorful shadow and neato killing and and anti hero villain . but it also stand on it own much more than some similiar nightmare knockoff ( leprechaun come to mind and in fact this film play like a much more effective leprechaun 4 represent lep in the hood ) . snoop dogg do very well in the role of bone and make line like and the gangster of love do not need no fried chicken sound very serious and convincing . pam grier once again return to her root and i for one be not complain . maybe i be slightly partial to this film because it feature katharine isabelle from one of my favorite horror film ginger snap . but beyond that i very enjoyed this ride of movie .
