Vicaria is a brilliant teenager who believes death is a disease that can be cured. After the brutal and sudden murder of her brother, she embarks on a dangerous journey to bring him back to life. Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster" thematically challenges our ideas of life and death. Writer and director Bomani J. Story crafts a thrilling tale about a family that, despite the terrors of systemic pressure,
will survive and be reborn again.
Bomani J. Story makes his directorial debut with a reimagining of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, "The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster", a classic literary horror story filmed through a modern lens. Having World Premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, Bomani J. Story undeniably pushes boundaries while breaking down barriers in the film industry. The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster is an essential piece of contemporary horror cinema that shows what happens when Black creators are given the space to tell their stories.
