THE BLACKENING takes on Black Pop Culture within the horror genre.

For some reason, the trailer for this film rubbed me the wrong way. Though this preview had funny moments, I wasn’t convinced it would deliver genuine laughs and thrills and be as entertaining as I would find it.

THE CURSE OF WOLF MOUNTAIN
