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.

Excellent!
yes still valid, still great 2024.
Great documentary that covered a large span of time and eras of history and film. Had insightful guests and was a great experience all around.
Very good documentary, very informative as a fan of film you'll like it trying to leave race or political talk out of it it's for everyone. Obviously it's promoted as black history though.
Great documentary, it was entertaining and educational.
