During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, The Blackening star Grace Byers discussed taking on the horror genre's silliest tropes. The Blackening is a Tim Story-directed horror comedy that follows a group of former college friends reuniting for a weekend at a remote cabin. In the film, Byers plays Allison, a character who suggests that the friends split up after a masker murder and their deadly board game sets their sights on the group.
