This week on End Credits, we're doing a little extension of Black History Month into July. It's also time again for some horror talk, which maybe makes this a little like Halloween Summer. Whatever the occasion, we will review the new film The Blackening, and in its spirit we will talk about some notable Black characters in horror movies who are winning even if they may not survive.
This Wednesday, July 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:
Character Study. As you will see in this week's movie, it's not easy being Black and being in a horror movie. There's a certain trope about the fate of all Black characters in horror movies, especially if there's only one Black character, and while there's a certain truth to that, we couldn't help but wonder about where the tropes get it wrong. This week, we'll look at great Black characters from horror movies, some of whom don't die first, or even at all!
REVIEW: The Blackening (2023). What started as a short film from the comedy troupe 3Peat is now a full length feature film. Inspired by movies like Get Out, Antebellum, and other elevated horror movies with a social message, the makers of The Blackening ask the most pointed question: If the Black character always dies first, then who dies first when the whole cast is Black? The Blackening wants to lampshade a lot of the tropes we've come to know and love from the horror genre, but does it hit just as hard if you're more of a casual horror fan (or not at all)?
