The modern FRANKENSTEIN variation is getting closer to release.
RLJE Films, Shudder and ALLBLK will release THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER to theater and VOD/digital platforms June 9. Written and directed by Bomani J. Story, it stars Laya DeLeon Hayes, Denzel Whitaker, Chad L. Coleman, Reilly Brooke Smith and Keith Holliday. The synopsis: “Vicaria [Hayes] 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 crafts a thrilling tale about a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure, will survive and be reborn again.” Story and Hayes talk about the movie here, and more of that interview will run at this site closer to the release!
