Description

The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. 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 co-written by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Harlem) and 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?

  • I'd say The SICKENING is more like it.

    The classic known as I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA (1988) was something. SCARY MOVIE (2000) was something more. But this? THE BLACKENING? What the [blank] IS IT???! Who are these people? From what walks of life do they come? Where is the togetherness? And since when did one important, though unsung, day call for a fright night in a cabin in the woods? Honestly, Mr. Story, did you expect us, the audience, to actually feel for, and shout "Don't go in there!" for a mismatched band of NOBODIES? And just because of the color of their skin? No! Not another word!! You are a disgrace to the cinematic game, Brutha Man!!

    I tried to ignore the mediocre acting and subpar writing. But the slow boring pacing and characters you don’t care about drag down the movie. Had the potential to be a good film based on the concept but it didn’t deliver.
  • BAD, BORING

    This Movie wants to be Horror and Comedy and lands nowhere near any if those. The killer is a mockery the entire film. 80% of the film is Black people arguing and being stressed to one another. The rest 20% is trying to define the film somewhere in the genre through dialogue thats as boring as you could imagine. You really don’t care whoever lives or not. The idea of this film was cool, the execution was terrible.
  • Save your money. Don’t watch it.

    The trailer portrays it to be funny. The film does not live up to it.
  • Hilarious 😆
