Although the main narrative thrust may seem redundant for the genre, this perspective makes this well worth watching. This is especially true thanks to good humor, interesting family and community dynamics, and the lead’s convictions which have been decently constructed. Read full review

Put The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster on your list of must-see/won’t-be-here-long summer thrillers, crowd-pleasing movie comfort food that embraces an old formula and manages to do something smart, insightful and topically relevent with it. Read full review

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is a horror movie, no doubt. It’s also an intelligent one, with the courage to challenge its audience, to make it see the horrors not just in the monster, but in the societal inequities that ultimately created him. Thankfully, Story isn’t afraid to rework a classic. Read full review

Fixing horror in the Black body is a tricky business, and “The Angry Black Girl” stumbles in the same way its ancestor, “Candyman” (1992), did. Read full review

(Her notebook is called "The Modern Prometheus," which is the full title of Shelly's "Frankenstein.") This is an unusual approach to a sci-fi thriller, because its roots revolve around a public housing community. Her family life and the gangster threats add a significant layer. This pretty much belongs to DeLeon Hayes and she does a commendable job of handling even the most unlikely moments. As for scares, they seem forced, usually with a quick cut or a musical stab. Even though writer/director Bomani J. Story has some narrative missteps, his film offers a unique perspective that's insightful and relevant.… Expand
