Horror films directed and/or written by Black filmmakers, or films featuring a predominantly Black cast or with a Black lead. I would have preferred to not put in any white filmmakers at all, and maybe that will change, but for now, I'll leave those films in as long as the cast isn't predominantly white. I also do not want to put old racist movies in this list. The point of this is to promote Black filmmakers and actors.
I'm not being that strict about the "horror" label. For example I am including Attack the Block, which is sci-fi. The Foreign Exchange Student is really more of a thriller as well.
I'll be putting a list of all currently streaming Black horror films on my website and I'm working through this list myself. This list is obviously motivated by current events. I hope everyone here on Letterboxd agrees that Black Life Matters and there are many ways to show our support to the movement. Since we're on Letterboxd we obviously love films, so support Black voices in filmmaking and especially support independent creators.
If I miss any movies that should belong here, please let me know in the comments. This is a work in progress. I organized it chronologically.
6/13 update: I made a list of currently streaming films, over 50 of them: serpent-club.com/2020/06/13/50-black-horror-films-you-can-stream-right-now/
