The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is a 2023 American science-fiction horror film written and directed by Bomani J. Story in his directorial debut.

Vicaria (Layla DeLeon Hayes, The Equalizer) 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 dramatic thriller thematically challenges ideas of life and death following a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure, will survive and be reborn together again.  

I’m unsure why this movie seemed to get ZERO attention when it came out this summer, but I was able to see it at the time of its VERY limited release and I recommend you give it a watch. I guess I need to do a full on review. Ok, I’ll do a full on review – watch this space.

The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster streams today on Shudder, AMC+ and ALLBLK.
