The Blackening

"This movie funny as hell. With an A+ soundtrack. "

"This movie was freaking hilarious!!!! Just try to be scared while you are laughing your entire butt off! "

"Solid b horror movie set when black friends decide to party in the woods but run into several men in black masks with murder in mind. Self reflexive and horror satire. Fun and clever."

"A Horror/Comedy that is so over the top that it may remind you of a Scary Movie film at times. With that said it is at least fun."

"The first minutes of the film were uncomfortable for me, but the rest of the movie had some potential if done differently. The plot twist was obvious and I didn’t like that they dragged it out so much and waited until almost the ending of the movie to throw every detail at you. It’s a comedy and not to be taken seriously, but it’s definitely not scary and comedy-wise is not good. "

"I laughed throughout this entire movie! Loves the cast. A++"

"This movie was so funny!!! I don’t do well with suspense, but once I got past that element, I was dying of laughter. Of course, racism was a big element, but it wasn’t uncomfortable or cringe. "

"Funny in some places but mostly silly…and I guessed who the killers were before it was revealed "

"I found this to be just okay, but maybe that’s because I went in with too high of expectations. Do take my review with a grain of salt, however, because my theater erupted in countless giggles, which made me think that appreciating the humor and satire aspect of it is subjective. A group of friends are celebrating Juneteenth until a do-or-die game comes between them and their celebration, which puts their thinking skills and understanding of black history month to the test. I can’t put my finger on what was missing about this movie, but I didn’t feel particularly connected to it or its characters (with the exception of Shanika, who was the definite comedic, sassy relief). "

"I was really surprised when watching this movie because I did not know what to expect. But this was such a great movie and filled with suspense and laughter. I enjoyed all the actors in this movie. "
