Film: "The Blackening" (2023)

New at the Browning Directed by Tim Story With Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg Rated R, 97 minutes, DCP Film begins at 7:00 p.m. With one of the best taglines in recent memory ("We can't all die first") , The Blackening brings its own commentary to the recent run of social thrillers. With more levity than many of the films with which it may quickly be categorized, The Blackening still makes good on its central, skin-crawling premise: Friends are alone inside a cabin in the woods when a murderer hits the scene. With many references to other films, the friends' awareness of horror films and the tropes found within the genre are crucial to their survival. GET TICKETS *Co-presented by The David A.
