    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Black as Night' has mixed reception, highlighting its unique storyline, diverse cast, and Asjha Cooper's strong performance. However, criticisms point to issues with colorism, unrealistic vampire elements, and clunky dialogue. Some find the film enjoyable and worth watching despite its flaws, while others consider it disappointing and poorly executed. The film's approach to social issues like racism and colorism garners both praise and condemnation.

    New Orleans and homeless vampires.

    You want a gourmet hamburger, you go to a gourmet hamburger restaurant, it might cost you $20 or $30. You just want a quick snack instead? Then go to a fast food joint and buy a $2 hamburger. It won't be very good but it will quench your hunger for a short while.

    That's how it is with Amazon's Blumhouse movies, like this one, "Black as Night". They are like a cheap hamburger, you'd never tell anyone how great they are but can help you pass the time.

    This one is set and filmed in New Orleans, much on the West Bank area known as Algiers and much in the New Orleans Garden District. It is the aftermath of hurricane Katrina and many displaced, homeless are being recruited into Babineaux's zombie corps. It is best enjoyed almost as a spoof of horror movies, there are a number of funny scenes. The acting is fine, especially Keith David as the main vampire. The cinematography is excellent, the movie is not to be taken too seriously.

    Most of the very negative reviews here say very silly things, like how old the actress is playing a teenager. Things that have no relevance to the story or the quality of the movie. It isn't a great movie but it isn't a terrible one either. It is entertaining for anyone looking for a lightweight vampire movie. I enjoyed it.

    Bring back that bingo movie

    Another poor effort from The Welcome To Blumhouse series.

    The lead is supposed to be, say 16, yet is played by a 28 year old actress. The fact is not helped by at least twice people mentioning she 'got breasts' this summer.

    The 'good' vampires was totally ridiculous and went absolutely nowhere, the plotting was all over the place, really poor.

    Pedro is a contender for most irritating character of 2021, no one in real life hopefully speaks like that.

    Also referring to the main character as Wesley after Wesley Snipes because of the darkness of her skin....not cool.

    Reaching for the Stars

    I think that what this movies strides for is important. It uses this as a way to talk about issues that effect people of colour but it wants to be more than it is.

    This is a Halloween-teen movie. The message gets lost because this type of film isn't strong enough to carry it.

    The writing is bad but it is mostly the dialogue. People who write movies like on earth, they talk to other humans. Why then write characters who don't talk like real humans? It drives me crazy. "Girl, even tho I'm hot I can't fight vampires" that is like paraphrased but it's lines like that! They drive me insane!

    It's not as bad as the reviews would have you believe. It's quick and clips along nicely. So even if you don't like it, the credits roll before you know it!

    don't agree on this one

    Usually i'm in line with the IMDB low rating crowd. But I liked this movie. Good acting, decent story, not gory. Fun.

    I recommend you see for yourself. With the stuff we rate 1 on here, this is a 10 comparatively.

    Worth a one time watch.

    The movie is not as bad as the ratings.

    It's ok and worth a one time view.
