Synopsis
Defying stereotypes: The Blackening unleashes thrilling (and hysterical) battle for survival
The Blackening challenges the stereotype that in horror films, the Black character typically dies first. It does so by featuring a group of friends who find themselves in a cabin in the woods, facing a masked killer. This killer forces them to rank their levels of blackness, intending to use that order to determine whom to kill. To survive, the friends must rely on their street smarts and understanding of horror movie clichés.

Production News
- January 16, 2020
- The Blackening, a film project by MRC Film and The Story Company, is in development as a feature film adaptation of a popular Comedy Central digital short. The short cleverly parodied horror film clichés by telling the story of seven Black friends who find themselves trapped in a cabin with a deranged killer. Screenwriters Tracy Oliver and Dewayne Perkins are set to expand on the original 2018 short and its central idea: "In horror movies, the Black cast member is typically the first to meet their demise, but what unfolds when everyone in the movie is Black?" Their script will delve deeper into this intriguing premise and its humorous exploration of genre stereotypes. (Source: Deadline)
