I love it! Reminds me of Scary Movie!
"The Blackening" is an incredibly entertaining film that skillfully combines humor with horror. Right from the beginning, it had me laughing out loud with its clever wit and unique take on horror clichés. The characters are well-developed and endearing, making it easy to root for them amidst the chaos.
The plot is filled with unexpected twists, maintaining suspense while maintaining a lighthearted tone. The dialogue is sharp with memorable one-liners, and the chemistry among the cast adds to the film's charm.
What I love most is its perfect balance of comedy and thrills. "The Blackening" doesn't take itself too seriously, delivering a story that's both funny and engaging. It's a must-watch for anyone looking for laughs and suspense-a true standout in the horror-comedy genre."The Blackening" is an incredibly entertaining film that skillfully combines humor with horror.

Good idea , average delivery. Definitely a watchable movie!!
Let me just state this isn't a bad movie, and I would of rated it higher if it wasn't for the comedy being on overkill. I understand it's a horror comedy but it just didn't feel right, felt more like a comedy if anything.
The movie starts of really strong and had me thoroughly enjoying it up until about 30 minutes in, it sunk in that this movie I thought was going to be great turns out to be average and watching it all the way through to the end I was able to confirm this.
There was some really good scenes in this that made me laugh and the overall idea of this movie is hilarious.
I found The characters to be enjoyable and likeable but they Definitely could of been better/funnier , Still this movie is one you can watch with friends or a nice spliff.
I love and watch plenty of movies that are rated 6 and below and therefore will rate this fairly unlike some users. So I still Definitely recommend this movie to anyone who's interested in seeing this.
