67 The Blackening

Horror/Thriller/Comedy | Directed by Tim Story
Opens in theaters June 16
Watch trailer

Working from a script by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip) and Dewayne Perkins (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Tim Story (Barbershop, Fantastic Four, Ride Along) directs this horror comedy about 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. That raises a key question: Who dies first if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black? The impressive cast includes Yvonne Orji (Insecure), Jay Pharoah, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Walls, Grace Byers, X Mayo, Melvin Gregg, and Jermaine Fowler.
