Between being able to get scared, laugh at stupid sh!t, and being able to sit down and be able to get emotional and relate on a heavier note, Movies have always been a safe space. I have always gravitated towards movies with anything involving horror + physiological thinking, comedy, and anything with a prominent diverse/BLK cast (that is coming from a Mexican + ebony individual!).
i was between 11-13 years old and get out came out which Was when i discovered black horror at my bigger age. Jordan Peels films not just paved the way for black horror for me but also showed me i have a voice at a young age. it [black horror] created a safe environment for me to feel less alone, accommodated to, and like my interests are catered to on a wider scale then just music.
