Exploring Diversity and Horror in "The Blackening"

The Blackening is a horror/comedy satire that skewers horror movie tropes and dissects the role of Black characters in horror movies and the perception of Black viewers. Directed by Tim Story, the film is a breath of fresh air with rapid-fire laughs and a strong sense of comedic timing. While the horror aspect could have been stronger, the film's wit remains intact throughout its 90-minute runtime.
