THE BLACKENING Had Us CACKLING! | Horror Comedy Reaction!

We’re diving into the horror-comedy chaos of The Blackening, a satirical slasher that flips genre tropes on their heads and asks the ultimate question: “If all the characters are Black, who dies first?” Co-hosts Syntell and Rekkai are watching for the first time—and trust us, the laughs and screams come fast and hard.

Directed by Tim Story, The Blackening brings a group of college friends back together for a Juneteenth weekend getaway that quickly devolves into a deadly game. When they find themselves trapped in a remote cabin and forced to play a twisted trivia game, they must navigate horror clichés, confront uncomfortable truths, and work together to survive—assuming they can stop roasting each other long enough to do it.

Featuring a stellar ensemble cast:
• Grace Byers as Allison
• Melvin Gregg as King
• Antoinette Robertson as Lisa
• Sinqua Walls as Nnamdi
• Jermaine Fowler as Clifton
• X Mayo as Shanika
• Dewayne Perkins (also co-writer) as Dewayne
• Jay Pharoah and Yvonne Orji in memorable cameos

From razor-sharp one-liners to slasher-style suspense, The Blackening is as smart as it is silly—perfect for horror fans and comedy lovers alike.

🎯 Spoiler-Free Takeaway:
This movie delivers a hilarious send-up of horror movie tropes while still offering real tension, clever commentary, and big group chat energy. Watch our full reaction and let us know—would you have survived The Blackening?
