With endless horror influences and a searing script, The Blackening is a hilarious, crowd-slaying roast of a genre. DoNatoBomb's review:
the conflict—the list goes on. A group including Lisa , Nnamdi , Shanika and more have their horror movie knowledge tested by a crazed killer, bringing aelement into the fray in addition to Ghostface’s phone quizzes. That’s what happens after the characters open a tabletop game titled The Blackening , forced to survive a deadly contest targeting their Blackness.is a copycat.
It’s hard to be as enthusiastic about the film’s horror counterbalance. There’s a desire always to make that extra joke, which takes away from the razor-sharp suspense of horror-comedies like. The film’s broader concept is brilliant with an even more brilliant tagline , but its landing is a wobbly dismount. One character’s brand of geeky, socially-awkward comedy will be a divisive hit or miss.
