Death is a disease that must be cured in The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster, a modern reinterpretation of Mary Shelley’s seminal novel, Frankenstein.
A brand new official poster promises a “slick, brutal, and bracing” new reimagining of the mad scientist. Even more, it teases that “Death can be cured.”
RLJE Films will release The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster in theaters, on VOD and on Digital on June 9, 2023.
In the film, “Vicaria is a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured. After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, she embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster thematically challenges our ideas of life and death. Bomani J. Story, the film’s writer and director, crafts a thrilling tale about a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure, will survive and be reborn again.”
Bomani J. Story wrote and directed The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster.
Laya DeLeon Hayes (“The Equalizer”), Denzel Whitaker (“Black Panther”) and Chad L. Coleman (“The Walking Dead”), Reilly Brooke Stith, and Keith Holliday star. Story produces along with Jack Davis and Darren Brandl.
In our review out of SXSW, where Story’s debut made its world premiere, I wrote, “runs a classic literary horror story through a modern urban lens, connecting the mad scientist with a young woman forced to fix society’s most elusive problems. In this instance, it’s death. While less successful as a straightforward horror movie, Story’s empathetic approach combined with Hayes’s complex and nuanced portrayal makes for a profoundly human story that evokes respect and hope.”
Check out the official poster, and look for The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster next month in theaters, VOD, and Digital.
