'The Blackening' is very much a love letter to Black horror fans, but anyone could watch it and have a great time. It's written in such a way that you can take what you want from it. If you have judgements on what you think it is, I'm asking that you reconsider. It's not Scary Movie meets Saw. Nor is it "in your face with messages". Granted, all movies have themes i.e. "messages".

But, bottom line, if you want to laugh until you're sore, and experience some great thrills and twists, don't miss out on The Blackening, and go with some friends. That'll make it all the more fun. If you don't have friends, I'll go with you.

Anyone can write a scathing review without knowing the hard work, dedication and passion that goes into making a film, especially making a film with little to no budget. Granted, there are so many out there, (now that anyone can shoot a "movie" with their cell phone) that lack vision or cohesion. Cemetery Tales is not one of those films.

The wraparound story is that of a young couple who meet a mysterious beautiful stranger named Honey, in the cemetery while hiking. Honey shares tales of terror and woe. If you're a fan of the original Tales From the Crypt movie, you'll dig this one. Each short is entertaining and well done. You'll encounter anything from ghosts, to zombies... even death themselves. I dug it, and highly recommend it.
