There is no shortage of behind the scenes documentaries, and that is especially true of horror films past. It can get to the point where they start to blend together, full of interesting information but barely distinguishable from one another.
That's just one part of what makes Horror Noire such a pleasant change of pace. A strong focus, fantastic interviewees, and a desperately important conversation that audiences have needed to hear about for years, this movie feels more vital than anything else in its category.
This film shows with clarity how the experience of black life is perfectly represented by horror, and how the genre perfectly tracks that distinctly American experience and journey.
Do yourself a favor and watch this. It will change how you watch and relate to horror movies, and it will give you a better understanding of the power of movies to create and spread empathy.
