Them (Amazon Prime Video, Friday, 12:01 a.m.): “
Them is certainly a welcome addition to the Black horror cadre that doesn’t seek to sanitize what is truly terrifying to Black people: racists and the past traumas that can literally haunt. It gets painfully uncomfortable, particularly in the two ‘Covenant’ episodes, but although ‘trauma porn’ is often used to describe such renderings, there is nothing gratuitous or pornographic in its depictions of Black trauma. Perhaps in this regard, the exceptional performances of the cast are both blessing and curse.” Read the rest of M Shelly Conner’s review of this horror anthology here. It stars Deborah Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Melody Hurd, Allison Pill.
