The Blackening, Slasher Movie Trailer

Seven black friends who go away for the weekend only to find themselves trapped in a cabin with a killer who has a vendetta. The Blackening, a feature adaptation of 3Peat’s hilarious 2018 short film, is set to hit theaters just in time for Juneteenth weekend

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?
