Dope premise. Looking forward to this one.
Letitia Wright to star in and executive produce supernatural horror film ‘IN HER SHADOW.’ Receiving a shocking late night phone call from the police, celebrated author Annie Cutter learns that her estranged, recently-deceased sister had kept her young daughter locked up alone in a dark basement for the last five years. Choosing to adopt the little girl, Annie comes to believe there may have been a reason for her sister to be afraid of the child. And that she may have locked her in the basement for her own safety… And the protection of others.

Here’s 4 more that I don’t think people have seen yet: Kicks To Sleep With Anger The Angry Black Girl And Her Monster Drylongso Ps. Yes I know that Kicks director isn’t black but it’s still a favorite of mine with a black cast.
Presenting one of my favorite genres of film: Obscure Black indie films that only 7 people have seen. Our tribe is small but mighty!!

I liked Avatar being number one purely because it’s an original film. It’s insane to me that a film with no IP could make that much money.
Highest-grossing films in history 💰
