The Blackening Reviews
AV Club
Tim Cogshell
The movie is highly entertaining, while being oddly validating and very funny.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The Blackening does make you wince, laugh, and later realize how much smarter it is than you initially thought.
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
Whether the topic is biracial identity, interracial marriage or intra-cultural stereotyping, all are tackled with a knowing nod and light touch.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
Comes with a horror movie's requisite skittish and stalking camerawork, its creaks and breath-holding hushes, its gore and payback. But it is the friends' flee, fight, freeze - or throw under the bus - banter that makes the film provocative fun.
Washington Post
Olivia McCormack
Generally speaking, the film takes the time to create distinct and three-dimensional personalities for all its characters, far more so than in most horror films.
The Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
A total blast.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Has a clever hook and next to no clue how to entertainingly execute it.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Consider "The Blackening" not just a send-up, but a send-off to this old cliché.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
An unapologetically Black comedy through and through. It maintains its wit and bite to the very end, boastfully serving audiences a hilarious film we didn't know we needed.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's a hangout movie, interrupted by a slasher movie, and it works because it feels like old friends razzing each other while squaring off against their new common adversary.
Mashable
Robert Daniels
The Blackening, in that regard, isn't so much a response to the lack of Black people in white genre movies as it is a reflection of the richness of Black cinema itself.
Chicago Reader
Sheri Flanders
Perfect for a summer evening out with your besties, The Blackening is a must-see summer flick.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
With the ensemble cast doing superb work, "The Blackening" is a horror comedy that packs a serious punch.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
It just never really figures out how to be a movie.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The film ably delivers on its premise, mining enough life from its satirical concept to deliver plenty of crowd-pleasing moments.
indieWire
Rafael Motamayor
The film jokes about Black suffering, but this is far from trauma porn. It's a truly Black horror comedy.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Valerie Complex
"The Blackening" is hands-down one of the best comedies of the year.

See it and you'll love its craziness. It's funny, funny, funny.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
The Blackening takes very few prisoners and has a lot more to say about race than people are likely to give it credit for. It is funnier than most horror parodies I've seen over the past decade.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's really funny. It's also really smart.
