After a strong festival run, Mariama Diallo’s feature debut Master is set to premiere globally March 18 on Prime Video.
Ahead of next week’s premiere, Bloody has the first clip in which both Regina Hall and Amber Gray have a run-in with the local Amish.
Diallo’s Sundance horror movie blends horror and social commentary in equal measure…
In Master, “Three women strive to find their place at a prestigious New England university whose frosty elitism may disguise something more sinister. Professor Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) has recently been promoted to “Master” of a residence hall, the first time at storied Ancaster College that a Black woman has held the post. Determined to breathe new life into a centuries-old tradition, Gail soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee), an energetic and optimistic Black freshman.
“Jasmine’s time at Ancaster hits a snag early on when she’s assigned a dorm room that is rumored to be haunted.
“Things get worse when Jasmine clashes in the classroom with Liv Beckman (Amber Gray), a professor in the middle of her own racially charged tenure review. As Gail tries to maintain order and fulfill the duties of a Master, the cracks begin to show in Ancaster’s once-immaculate facade. After a career spent fighting to make it into Ancaster’s inner circle, Gail is confronted with the horrifying prospect of what lies beneath, her question ultimately becoming not whether the school is haunted, but by whom.”
Meagan Navarro reviewed Master for Bloody Disgusting at Sundance in January, writing that the film delivers “intelligent, creepy, and complex horror that makes Diallo one to watch.”
