This new film delves into a century of genre films that by turns utilized, caricatured, exploited, sidelined, and finally embraced black Americans in Hollywood, tracing a secret history through their connection to the horror genre. Adapting executive producer Dr. Robin Means Coleman’s seminal book of the same title, Horror Noire presents the living and the dead, using new and archival interviews from scholars and creators, the voices who survived the genre’s past trends, and those shaping its future.
A Shudder Original documentary.
