Brilliant anthology of short horror features from a black history perspective, dealing with themes of slavery, racism, religious cults, economic corruption, and the oppression of black women. Outstanding production, acting and direction. I could easily see this becoming a series.

FishTaco, what a ridiculous and unnecessary thing to say. Did you say “why they all have to be white?” in the horror anthologies of the past? Such as the original CREEPSHOW films or any of the l other white lead character tv shows? I love that the cast is Black and there isn’t anything wrong with it. Good story telling, etc. Why, because Black people are human beings too with stories to tell! Can you imagine ?! 🙄 People like you really should think before you post anything because you sound like a bonafide idiot. A total disgrace, you are.

We need to stop the racist BS, there is no color when it comes to entertainment. Everything divided into color is meant to keep us divided so we are easily overcome by big brother. United we stand, divided we fall, that is their biggest fear. WE THE PEOPLE are one and if anyone has a different view you are part of the problem.

A solid 4 skulls. I love Black horror, it has so much more to draw from than the typical white horror stories that revolve around love (Protagonist loses a loved one, notices something suspicious about the so called suicide or accident, investigates and becomes plagued by the same evil that befell their loved one and must now find a way to escape it and the lesson in the end is Mental Health is scary - that's every white horror movie of the last 15 years). There's real horror in black history. There's a more poignant message that doesn't feel overdone, like the Monster was Depression all along! The monster is loss of identity, the erasure of culture, the desire to assimilate and be accepted, and the danger of losing yourself and your heritage if you do, the importance of honouring your ancestors and appreciating their sacrifices and what happens if you forget where you came from. Aside from that, this anthology is pretty banger. Some stories were stronger than others, some had better production value, but the ideas and messages between all of them are fantastic and great examples of different horror archetypes.
