Blackstock Boneyard is a horror film that explores the themes of injustice and revenge. The two black brothers, Elijah and Silas, were wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit and were executed by hanging. Their bodies were buried in a small cemetery in the rural town of Blackstock, and their land was taken from them by the white landowners.
One hundred years later, a group of friends from the city visit Blackstock and stumble upon the cemetery. They accidentally awaken the spirits of Elijah and Silas, who rise from the grave and begin to exact their revenge. They possess the bodies of the living and use them to carry out their bloody mission.
As the body count rises, the living characters in the film must confront the sins of their ancestors and the racist history of Blackstock. The film offers a commentary on the lasting effects of oppression and the power of vengeance to both heal and harm.
Blackstock Boneyard is directed by Andre Alfa and stars Terry Milam as Elijah and Shae Smolik as Silas. It was released in 2020 and has received positive reviews for its unique take on the horror genre.
