It was not that great. It definitely had its moments and jokes here and there but it kept repeating one of them over and over. It is supposed to be a parody but it kept trying to be serious in some moments plus the pacing is slow in the beginning. It had a straight toโ€ฆ

Loved this moving Iโ€™m going to watch it again it was hilarious twist on a comedy horror movie. Showing the prospective with all black characters cuz you know the black ppl die but we definitely think differently when it comes to some creepy ish . When things arenโ€™t feelingโ€ฆ

Very funny references! Took my husband who enjoyed the wittyness, comedy, facts, and storyline. I don't like scary movies, so this was perfect for him and I to watch. Overall pretty funny.

Would not recommend. There were a couple funny parts, but not worth the $$ or time. Wait for TV if you just have to watch it.

Loved the movie. Cast was great. Bravo to the writers. Not all black people should have to die in scary movies. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The movie is highly entertaining, while being oddly validating and very funny. It cleverly weaves the horror tropes that it rebukes right into the narrative. And itโ€™s done without slipping into parody like the Scary Movie series, where similar notions are skewered more broadly and, with The Blackening now on the table, way less successfully.

More importantly, the film specifically examines Blackness through the lens of whiteness, making a white man the enemy and showing how an outside force wreaks havoc among the closed group. The film jokes about Black suffering, but this is far from trauma porn. Itโ€™s a truly Black horror comedy.
