Regina Hall stuns in the eerie trailer for Mariama Diallo's Master
The new Black horror film follows three women's experience at a predominately white university
A new voice in horror sets her sights on the institutional racism at universities across the country in the academia-focused thriller Master. Regina Hall (Scary Movie), Zoe Renee (The Quad), and Amber Gray (The Underground Railroad) star in Mariama Diallo’s debut feature film, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.
The official synopsis for the feature reads:
Professor Gail Bishop (Hall) has recently been promoted to “Master” of a residence hall, the first time at storied Ancaster College that a Black woman has held the post. Determined to breathe new life into a centuries-old tradition, Gail soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Moore (Renee), an energetic and optimistic Black freshman. Jasmine’s time at Ancaster hits a snag early on when she’s assigned a dorm room that is rumored to be haunted.
