Really enjoyed this one!

This movie would have been a lot better if they had 1) not used some standard vampire movie tropes (including the very last part of the last scene), and 2) left out the liberal dose of anti-white racism sprinkled throughout the movie. Once again, within the walls of the movie, They prove that They feel it's ok for a black person (or actor) to use The Dreaded N-Word.

Nothing too unique or special that stands out in this vampire flick, and overall an average watch in my opinion.

2 out of 5 stars. Poor script and direction. The plot is decent. The film does lack scares and thrills. The acting is horrible. Especially with the main characters best friend who is annoying and cheesy with dialogue. It is one film that is forgettable. Definitely a film worth skipping.

Everything about this was cheaply done. The acting, the writing, the quick story progression... it was all cheap. The story made such a big deal out the main character being a dark-skinned female. If this was going to be the subject matter, then it should have been the subject matter-- not a gratuitous side-theme to a movie about vampires. Then they gave her a drug addicted mother, oof! That is not the kind of representation that black women want.

I wish I could give Zero stars for how Cringe this was . a total slap in the face to black women ! Terrible movie and this is why our young girls have body issues and depression! Sick ! I can't believe black people aren't screaming from the roofs ! Made a Wesley snipes joke , to showing the girl get a whitening cream at a store to having her cover up her skin to her even apologizing for bring not of beauty because of her darkness but it was OK because she made up for it in youth ! Are u serious , and I read a black man was the writer ! I'm totally appalled !!

Not feeling the whole negative view of dark skin. Dark skin women are already view as less attractive then other women. She could of had another self esteem issue other than that one.

Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television present a new spin on the creatures of the night Teenager Shawna is a girl with self-esteem issues; she finds confidence in the most unlikely way Turns out she spent her summer battling vampires that prey on New Orleans' disenfranchised with the help of her best friend, the boy she's always pined for, and a peculiar rich girl Vampires are being made out of all the homeless and drug addicts This is all happening in our present day Black Lives Matter social climate Shawna is also living in the Ombereaux, a housing area that's basically falling apart and is a residence for drug users and sellers The sad part that cuts her deepest is that her mom got bit and turned and the sunlight burned her to death Now Shawna is on a blood quest to track down the vampire who took her away A priest called Babineaux also has a long history with the undead tying back to the old days of slavery You could apply this turning of blacks into vampires to the unlawful killings of blacks going on right now especially in the south of America These supernatural creatures in a way become the supremacist species rising up to fight back The movie is short yet manages to be scary, entertaining, and builds its own lore to stand out among other vampire movies With the insertion of race relations it feels modern and refreshing Everything that's happened to the black community happens in flames that are snuffed out every few decades, even an immortal sees the whole picture when it seems like nothing has changed All the riots, marches, protests may seem to amount to nothing but working together is the better option to make a better world Some things are worth fighting for but without bloodshed Low-budget, quick, bloody, and effective in making commentary on race-centric historical and political issues The real-life world and the supernatural with teens from a black perspective work very well here

I've loved vampire movies for so long and it's cool to finally have a heroine that looks like me. Fun and gory, the way any monster flick should be.

Good good réalised little movie good

Not bad not great. Keith David is great but had little screen time but felt this film needed a bigger budget cause the plot is good premise. I can still recommend it!

The sound effects were awesome. The fusion of black and immortality takes self acceptance to a new high! Loved it! 🖤

One of the best movies I've seen in awhile! Grab your snacks get cozy because this is a Must see for spooky season!!

Who talks like that, the worst script ever… but like no seriously black people don't talk like this… ugh!

Fun young adult vampire flick that's simple yet entertaining. A good no-brainer.

Initially, I wasn't sure how to feel about Black As Night. As I continued to watch I realized that I'm (quite) a bit older than the target demographic. Armed with that acknowledgment, I kind of overlooked the lack of conventional "horror" in this film and leaned more into the story. With NOLA as it's backdrop, we embark on a coming-of-age journey with the lead protagonist, Shawna. Born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, she was destined to be strong and brave. But, where we met her in her journey, she was enduring the conflict that many dark-skinned Black girls experience. I understood, because at one time, I was her. That gave her character a familiarity to me, and I was rooting on her to come into her own. While watching her and her ragtag crew of "vampire slayers", I saw myself wrestling with and overcoming the struggles and insecurities that are part and parcel of being "too" Black in a society that doesn't understand us. The social commentary was present but not overbearing. The story shared a message of people sometimes trying to do the right thing but having messed up means. There were many flaws in this film, but having a soul wasn't one of them. I think this movie will resonate with younger viewers and I recommend it.

If the plot wasn't lack luster,superficial and stereotypical, this movie would still be bad. The racial undertones are disgusting and disappointing. There is a line in the movie relating the absolutely stunning main character to looking like Wesley Snipes with braids, and the constant theme of colorism throughout the movie without a clear redeeming purpose is shameful. If I could give this movie no stars I would. Flush this one down the toilet Blumhouse. Oh yeah, fun fact a black man wrote this cringe worthy script, Yikes! This seems like the writers internal complex is projecting itself here.

Black as Night is a less-funny version of Fear Street Part 2: 1978, but the man with an axe was changed by vampires (which as I said in my review of Blood Red Sky, I can't take vampires seriously, but here this problem is minor), and in a community which I couldn't stop associate with Cabrini-Green (Candyman). But don't understand wrong, the film is not bad. Despite a non-sense epilogue and a romance with zero chemistry, the writing isn't slovenly, and the cast is talented. It's by far the best movie of "Welcome to the Blumhouse" anthology.

Black as Night is an incredibly bland vampire film. I can really enjoy vampire movies if they’re done well. But this just doesn’t add anything new or exciting. The film is particularly very dull in its storytelling, with plenty of annoying narration to hold your hand throughout the film. The lighting was also bad, with some climatic scenes being hard to see. The film isn’t all bad. The characters weren’t terrible, and neither was the acting. But I just found myself bored more than I wanted to be. Overall, this isn’t anything special. Just another run of the mill vampire movie.

Could possibly have been decent were it not for the incessant narration which utterly ruins the whole thing. It's like the film doesn't trust it's actors to be able to adequately convey what's happening so practically every scene is going to be pedantically explained to you, whether you like it or not. Spoiler: you won't.
