Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror
Directed by Xavier Burgin
Delving into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced them, Horror Noire traces the untold history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre. Adapting Robin Means Coleman’s seminal book, HORROR NOIRE will present the living and the dead, using new and archival interviews from scholars and creators; the voices who survived the genre’s past trends, to those shaping its future. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.

Great analysis of black horror films in their historical contexts. Really interesting to learn about black people's pov on blaxploitation, and their roles in horror films.
I love this
Entertaining and very enlightening
Absolutely fascinating, well written, and at points heartbreaking - a fantastic insight into an area of film that is often completely neglected by other horror history documentaries.
