Blackstock Boneyard is a 2021 American horror slasher film directed by Andre Alfa in his directorial debut. Based on an untold true story, it dramatizes the story of brothers Thomas Griffin and Meeks Griffin, two prominent black farmers who were forced to sell their land and wrongly executed.[1] One hundred years later, they return to avenge their deaths by killing the descendants of those responsible. It was released in the United States on June 8, 2021, by Uncork'd Entertainment.[2] It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, direction, and atmosphere.
Plot
The plot of Blackstock Boneyard has its roots in the 1913 conviction and eventual execution of Thomas and Meeks Griffin, two wealthy black farmers for the murder of a veteran of the Confederate army. A murder they didn't commit and were eventually exonerated of in 2009.[3]
Director Andre Alfa and writer Stephen George's story picks up in 2013 as Judge Carroll Johnson ‘CJ’ Ramage, the grandson of the judge that sentenced the Griffins to die is about to close a lucrative deal on the land that once was their farm.[4][5]
There's just one problem, his lawyer has found another heir to the property, Lyndsy and she'll have to be convinced to sell. But as she and her friends arrive in town an objection to the sale is being raised, from the grave. A story of racial injustice, truth exhumed and justice served with fitting ferocity.
