The various intersections between African-American history and the evolution of the Hollywood horror film receive a fascinating examination in this documentary. From '70s Blaxploitation to the first-to-die tropes of the '80s and '90s to the positive representations and political allegories of the modern era, perspectives from genre icons-before the camera (Tony Todd, Ken Foree, Rachel True) and behind (Jordan Peele, Rusty Cundieff, Ernest Dickerson)-and more are offered. 83 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
