Writer-director Bomani J. Story’s film, streaming on ALLBLK and Shudder, follows a brilliant young woman who grotesquely re-creates her dead brother.
’s “Frankenstein” and its latest offspring, “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster,” are both wellsprings of metaphor and parables of madness.
For Victor Frankenstein, the source of crazy was his mother’s death and a resulting God complex; for Vicaria —the title “angry girl” known as her neighborhood’s “mad scientist”—it is a family disappearing due to gang violence, drug dealing, predatory policing and a certain black experience that casts the world as out of control. Hence her theory: Death is only a disease. And if it is a disease, she should be able to cure it.
