Movies Like "Get Out": "Antebellum"

One of the benefits of "Get Out"'s commercial and critical success is that it opened the floodgates for more Black horror films, even if they don't quite hit the mark, as is the case with "Antebellum." This horror movie is a psychological thriller about Veronica (Janelle Monáe), an author who's plunged into a horrifying past when she's kidnapped and enslaved on a plantation. Though it's full of talent with the likes of Monáe and Gabourey Sidibe, "Antebellum" doesn't really go beyond the surface-level pain and suffering of its Black characters. However, "Antebellum" still might be worth the watch if only to spark conversation about how Black horror films should treat its Black characters.
