The Blackening

In the fantastic new film <em>The Blackening</em>, a group of college friends reunite at a house in the woods to celebrate a Juneteenth holiday weekend. For decades it's been a cliché to kill off the sole black character first in horror movies. But <em>The Blackening</em> turns that hackneyed trope on its head by asking: What happens when <em>all </em>the main characters are Black? It's silly, smart, and even a little bit deep.
