Master

Friday, March 18 - Thursday, March 31, 2022

Q&A with director Mariama Diallo following the 7:35pm screening on Saturday March 19th!

Under the frosty elitism of a prestigious New England university lurks something more sinister. Professor Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) has recently been promoted to “Master” of a residence hall and soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of an energetic and optimistic Black student (Zoe Renee). But as Gail tries to maintain order and fulfill her new duties, the cracks begin to show in the college’s once-immaculate facade, and the question becomes not whether the school is haunted, but by whom.

“Intelligent, creepy, and complex horror that makes Diallo one to watch.” – Bloody Disgusting

“Impressively ambitious… anchored by a sterling turn from Regina Hall, and a script that serves up a series of unflinching twists, each bolder than the last.” – The Atlantic
