Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror
Directed by Xavier Burgin
Delving into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced them, Horror Noire traces the untold history of Black Americans in Hollywood through their connection to the horror genre. Adapting Robin Means Coleman’s seminal book, HORROR NOIRE will present the living and the dead, using new and archival interviews from scholars and creators; the voices who survived the genre’s past trends, to those shaping its future. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.

Excellent depiction of black horror emerging over the years… on the other hand was sad to see the reminded truth of racism in this county…overall a great watch
The Victimhood is strong within certain parts of this doc.
Brilliant. A fantastic examination of black horror cinema.
