The Blackening follows a group of Black friends reunited for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a masked killer who forces them to play a twisted board game by his rules, which they soon realize ain’t no motherf*cking game. The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: If the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?

Pre-order The Blackening.

"The Blackening" is Millennials' Answer to the Void "Scary Movie" Left

"The Blackening" is Millennials' Answer to the Void "Scary Movie" Left

Content Warning: The Blackening contains racist imagery, drug use, and violence. There’s a great conversation throughout the film about gatekeeping blackness that is campy and fun but also extremely relatable. It’s Rated R, but surprisingly not that graphic. Soooooo . . . viewer discretion is suggested? Spoilers for The Blackening ahead! I’ll admit when I first started seeing trailers for The…

The original "Scream," released in 1996, was a blast of fresh air precisely because of its masterful recontextualizing of what had become a staid, if not utterly stale, genre, reinvigorating it with a clever blend of meta-based comedy, and suspense, so as to make something that felt new and bewitching (nevermind the lethal overstaying of the franchise's further installments, a fate which befalls many a successful horror flick these days).

Tim Story's "The Blackening," about a group of Black friends from college, reuniting for a Juneteenth celebration at a remote house in the woods, uses a similar sort of formula, only in place of satirizing genre convention, the film is remarkably salient on issues of race and culture, even as it offers up a walloping good time in doing so.

How did Demi like her first Wes Anderson movie? Did Colin finally like a season of Black Mirror? And why were there so many white people in our showing of The Blackening? Listen to our new episode for the answers to all of these questions! You can also find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
