Lionsgate’s new horror-comedy film, The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway. However, they find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. After being forced to play by his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf****** game.

The film skewers genre tropes, as well as poses the sardonic question: if the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first? Check out the latest trailer for the film below!
