The Blackening (2023) Official Trailer - Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo

#TheBlackening – Only in theaters June 16, 2023. Starring Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Walls, with Jay Pharoah, and Yvonne Orji.

The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. Forced to play by his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game. Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like A Man, Barbershop) and screenplay and screen story by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Harlem) & Dewayne Perkins (The Amber Ruffin Show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine), The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?

Lionsgate and MRC present, a Story Company / Tracy Yvonne / Artists First / Catchlight Studios production.

The "Jim Crow Monopoly" and "It probably runs on racism" had me dying. 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta admit that this comedic horror film was actually really fun and hilarious! A great spoof based on traditional horror movies. ✌️

The fact the guy straightened the other guys gun has me in stitches. lol

[REMN]

😂 I remember this was just a skit on Comedy Central, but seeing this as a movie I'm about to be in stitches from laughter.

[oblongbox]

"Don't say this dumb sh*t"! "We have to split up". 😂 Yep I'm sold! I hope this is coming out to theaters (Nationwide) so I can go see it in an actual movie theater.

Just saw this at an early screening. I loved it. The whole theater was dying laughing. Do yourself a favor and go see it in theaters before it goes to streaming

[jazlynkelley]

I can't believe they turned that skit into a movie!!!! I cannot wait to see this!!!

[justblah]

"They can't all die first' is cinematic brilliance

[thraxgagan]

Nah this was introspective, captivating, and HILARIOUS. I was just saying I’m tired of us not finding a middle ground. Too ignorant/goofy, too serious; this was just right!
