In the horror comedy film "The Blackening," an all-African American group of friends find themselves trapped in a cabin with a killer who forces them to rank their degrees of blackness. They must use their street smarts and horror movie knowledge to survive.
"The Blackening" is a refreshing and thought-provoking horror comedy that cleverly challenges and subverts genre tropes. Directed by Tim Story and written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins, the film takes inspiration from the 2018 short film by comedy troupe 3Peat. The ensemble cast, featuring Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, and others, delivers solid performances, bringing a dynamic and engaging energy to their characters. What sets "The Blackening" apart is its exploration of racial stereotypes in horror movies. By placing an all-Black group of friends at the center of the story, the film interrogates the trope of the African-American character being the first to die. The cabin-in-the-woods scenario becomes a stage for an unsettling and thrilling cat-and-mouse game, as the friends must confront a masked killer who demands they rank their degrees of blackness. The film cleverly blends horror, comedy, and social commentary, providing moments of tension, laughter, and reflection. It effectively uses satire and self-awareness to comment on the genre while offering a thrilling and entertaining experience. "The Blackening" is a bold and necessary addition to the horror genre that challenges expectations and sparks important conversations.
