The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is sticking with its theatrical release date, but the VOD and digital release date has changed
Crypt TV, an entertainment company that was launched in 2015 by Jack Davis and Eli Roth, with Blumhouse Productions on board as an investor, has put together it first domestic feature film: a new take on Mary Shelley’s classic story Frankenstein called The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster. RLJE Films had originally planned to release the film theatrically, on VOD and digitally on June 9th. However, now, those plans have been slightly altered. The Angry Black Girl & Her Monster is still scheduled to hit theatres on June 9th. However, the VOD & digital release has been pushed back to June 23rd. The film will be available for two weeks in theatres before it is made available for home viewing. Story wrote and directed this film about Vicaria, a teenage heroine on a quest to cure her brother’s death. With brilliant intelligence and a willingness to lose it all, Vicaria is able to resurrect the corpse of her recently slain brother, but unknowingly creates an unstoppable monster hungry for revenge.
Laya DeLeon Hayes of The Equalizer
plays the 17-year-old Vicaria, with Denzel Whitaker of Black
Panther co-starring as a character named Kango. Chad L. Coleman, from The Walking Dead, is also part of the cast. Executive produced by Jeremy Elliott and Jasmine Johnson. Story said this about the film: “Growing-up, I loved watching Monster movies with my older sibling. We rarely, if at all, saw films that addressed issues that were important to our generation, and featured people who looked similar to us. It has been a dream of mine to bring an adaptation of Frankenstein to film through the black lens with a lead character as smart as my sister. Crypt was a strong advocate of this story from the beginning, but it all came together when Laya was cast as Vicaria. What an amazing team.“
