RLJE Film will release THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER in Theaters and on Digital and On Demand on June 9, 2023. The film will be available to stream on Shudder and Allblk at a later date.
The film premiered at this year’s SXSW. It is currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (13 reviews).
While THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER is a horror film, writer/director Bomani J. Story created a powerful tale of the Black experience inspired by Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” The mad scientist is seen in a contemporary setting through a modern urban lens. It’s raw, violent, thought provoking…a metaphor for what’s really happening in today’s society. Bomani explores the terrors of systemic pressure in the African-American community as well as its resilience. The film is a fresh take on exploring these truths (realities), while using the horror genre to challenge audiences.

Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER thematically challenges our ideas of life and death. Bomani J.
