THE BLACKENING
The Blackening promises to be a refreshing and thought-provoking addition to the horror genre. With a talented team of writers and a renowned director at the helm, the film explores themes of race and identity while also delivering on scares and suspense. By flipping the script on traditional horror tropes and placing a group of Black friends at the center of the story, The Blackening promises to be a bold and entertaining commentary on the genre, and a must-see for horror fans and social commentary enthusiasts alike.

Forced to play by his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game. Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like A Man, Barbershop) and screenplay and screen story by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Harlem) & Dewayne Perkins (The Amber Ruffin Show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first? Lionsgate and MRC present, a Story Company / Tracy Yvonne / Artists First / Catchlight Studios production. |
