Why watch the movie The Blackening?
"There’s an unfortunate cliché (and it still persists) in many slasher horror films, where racially diverse characters often end up being the first to die in the narrative, serving as cannon fodder. Inspired by the success of Jordan Peele's 'Get Out,' 'The Blackening' is a horror comedy that starts from a simple yet incisive premise: if all the characters are black, who should die first? Thus, we follow a group of friends on a weekend getaway to a remote cabin in the woods, where they are trapped and subjected to a cruel survival game. With wit, the movie raises important questions about race and intersectionality while satirizing the perpetuation of intrinsic racism in American society and popular culture. It's a great choice if you enjoy self-aware horror films like Scream, Cabin in the Woods, to name a few examples."
