The Blackening

I loved this movie so funny :) I recommend it ! ! ! Some good jocks :)

Now this is a great unique film as it is and isn't a dark comedy and horror movie at the same time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time waiting for either the next great joke or the next jump scare, as this film follows a group of black friends who are reuniting from their college days by renting out a cabin for the weekend but it suddenly turns into horror as they are seemingly hunted in the house. The plot development and character development is great, but what makes this for such a great watch is the uniqueness of the blend of racist comedy and horror. Its like "Haunted House" except that the horror part is actually real. And of course there is a big plot twist at the end.

This might be the best black horror comedy since the original **Scary Movie**. Entertaining from start to finish. With an ending coda that IMO might be better than **Get Out**. It's not the best movie I've ever seen. Heck it's not even the best horror comedy I've ever seen. But for what it was and where it tried to go. It nailed the landing firmly. I could easily see myself watching and rewatching this. The black talent on the screen were all great. I can't pick a stand out not because any of them felt weak but because all of them felt emphatic. Shout out to Diedrich Bader for perfectly getting the balance of his character on that line between what he appears to be and what little we know him to actually be.

I hope to see more movies like this which for all it's advertising ended up being more casually black than pointedly so. I might drop this down from a 9 after I watch it a few more times but we'll see.

A very self-aware comedy that knows exactly what it is and who is aimed at. It has some real laugh out loud moments and a clever plot that features all of the black horror tropes. Solid cast and great movie.

Consistently funny. Definitely worth watching.

Was both scary and funny so it worked. It’s about a group of black people and their hilarious stereotypical misconceptions about both white people and other black people. A fun watch late at night and was better than I expected. 7.6/10.

A fun, winning time, pure and simple. The cast is game and giving 100%, there’s some quality gags, a nice camaraderie, and a charming script. The story’s not as clever as it wants to be, but it doesn’t need to be, and seeing it in a theater with a bought in audience really completed the experience. Hope Tim Story gets to do more like this instead of FFs and Tom and Jerrys.

It’s sort of like if Scary Movie was really a Horror/Comedy and not a spoof. The Blackening is as stupid as it is fun.
Jermaine Fowler as Clifton is like Steve Urcle in a Horror movie.

I noticed a lot of people saying it's not scary. it was not supposed to be scary it's a satire like Scary movie. but it's focal point of it's jokes is more inside jokes to Black community. I enjoyed it.

*Scary Movie* meets *Bodies Bodies Bodies* meets *Bitch Ass*.

Very meta, self-aware, filled with tropes and steriotypes. A social commentary on the idea of being black enough. ***The Blackening*** is a really good balance of comedy and horror. The ensemble cast, characters and comical dynamics are what brings the movie to life they're so enjoyable. I didn't catch all the jokes but this was still hilarious. The mind-talking is such a great idea I loved it and favorite moment was the vomit scene. Shanika and Dewayne were my favorites. Lots of suspence. Not much gore, not many kills and I wish the ones we had were more creative. The ending was a bit anticlimactic but I much enjoyed the journey to get there.
