\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSANTA MONICA, CA (Ju<\/strong>ly<\/strong> 5<\/strong>, 2023)<\/strong> – Fresh off its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, The Blackening<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Premium Video on Demand on July 7 from Lionsgate. The film features four friends who reunite for a weekend getaway and find themselves at the hands of a twisted killer who wants to play a game for their survival. Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along<\/em>, Think Like <\/em>a<\/em> Man<\/em>, Barbershop<\/em>) and screenplay and screen story by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip<\/em>, TV’s “Harlem”) and Dewayne Perkins (TV’s “The Amber Ruffin Show,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), and stars Grace Byers (TV’s “Empire”), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America<\/em>), Melvin Gregg  (House Party<\/em>), X Mayo (TV’s “American Auto”), Dewayne Perkins (TV’s “The Upshaws”), Antoinette Robertson (TV’s “Dear White People”), Sinqua Walls (TV’s “White Men Can’t Jump”), with Jay Pharoah (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”) and Yvonne Orji (TV’s “Insecure”).
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t 
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Blackening<\/em><\/strong> follows a group of Black friends reunited for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a masked killer who forces them to play a twisted board game by his rules, which they soon realize ain’t no motherf****** game. The Blackening<\/em><\/strong> skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: If the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t 
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLionsgate and MRC present, a Story Company \/ Tracy Yvonne \/ Artists First \/ CatchLight Studios production.
