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.
"The Blackening" is a slasher satire directed by Tim Story and written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins. The film subverts horror tropes and is based on a Comedy Central sketch of the same name by the comedy group 3PEAT. The movie is intelligent, aware of its genre's history, and very funny. The Blackening anticipates an animated audience and builds that into its humor. The film pays homage to the slasher tradition, but doesn't always quite reach its full scare potential.
