Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror

83 MIN / 2019 / USA / ENGLISH / DOCUMENTARY

Delving into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced black culture, Horror Noire traces a secret history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre. Adapting executive producer Dr. Robin R.
