The trailer lays the groundwork: a bunch of pals hire a cabin within the woods and discover themselves in a recreation with a murderous psychopath who says he’ll save all of them in the event that they kill the individual they deem “probably the most black “. The group (unsurprisingly) takes umbrage, and issues evolve in terrifying and enjoyable methods.
Right here is the official synopsis of the movie:
Blackening facilities on a bunch of black pals who reunite for a getaway on the weekend of June 19 solely to seek out themselves trapped in a distant cabin with a twisted killer. Compelled to play by its guidelines, the buddies quickly notice it is no fucking recreation. Directed by Tim Story (Trip, suppose like a person, barbershop) and script and screenplay by Tracy Oliver (Women Journey, Harlem) & Dewayne Perkins (The Amber Ruffin Present, Brooklyn 9-9), Blackening skewers style tropes and asks the sardonic query: if the whole solid of a horror film is black, who dies first?
