  Directed by Tim Story (“Barbershop”, “Think Like A Man”, and “Ride Along”) and screenplay and story by Tracy Oliver (“Girls Trip” and “Harlem”) and Dewayne Perkins (“The Amber Ruffin Show” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), “The Blackening” skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question; if the entire cast is black, who dies first?
