The Blackening ★★★☆☆ The six friends who gather in a woodland house in this horror-comedy are black Americans, a key factor in the unpleasantness that befalls them. After finding a weird racist board game, they are tormented by an unseen psycho who eventually asks them to nominate the 'blackest' member of the group. Don't expect Tim Story's film to be as artistic as Jordan Peele's horror movies Get Out and Us . It's more knockabout, yet its salty, free-flowing dialogue makes sharp points. In cinemas, 15, 97min The Dive ★★☆☆☆ Two scuba-diving sisters swim into trouble in Maximilian Erlenwein's film.
