Typical slasher/whodunnit with seven friends in a cabin in the woods with a mysterious killer after them. The twist is that all of the characters are Black and that's why the tagline is "We can't ALL die first," which IYKYK. Very fun cast full of actors I simply am not familiar with but they all made me laugh at one point or another. Oh, well, Diedrich Bader was in it in a very minor role. I like how the movie skewered slasher movie tropes and looked racism right in the eye with some very pointed observations. I really dug the humor especially when they were throwing shade at each other. Other than the motives for the murders being murky at best, overall this was a fun romp. Honestly, a lot of the humor reminded me of my beloved sitcoms from the edgier-than-you-remember 1970s (Good Times, Jeffersons, Sanford & Son, et al.) B
