What is blackening about?
“The horror comedy centers on a group of black friends who reunite for a weekend getaway in Juneteenth, only to find themselves in a remote cabin with a twisted killer,” reads the synopsis. “The friends are forced to play by his rules and quickly realize that this isn’t a bloody game. “The Blackening” skewers genre tropes and asks the sardonic question: If the entire cast of a horror film is black, who dies first?”
The Blackening is directed and produced by Tim Story from a screenplay co-written by Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins. It stars Antoinette Robertson, Dewayne Perkins, Sinqua Walls, Grace Byers, X Mayo, Melvin Gregg, Jermaine Fowler, Yvonne Orji and Jay Pharoah.
The film is being produced by Marcei A. Brown, Jason Clark, E. Brian Dobbins, Tracy Oliver, Tim Story and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett, with Vicky Story as Associate Producer.
