Planning to watch through Jordan Peele's movies for the spooky season and thought it'd be nice to expand that out to other movies from POC creatives. My current list includes Sorry to Bother You (another favorite of mine I've been meaning to rewatch), Bad Hair, Horror Noire, and Ganja & Hess. Any other movies that fit the theme that you would suggest? They certainly don't have to stick to African American/Black creatives, and English isn't a must, but would be preferred.

Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror.

It's a documentary on films by or about black American culture through horror. If not interested in the doc itself, you can find lists of all the films that it talks about.

horror noire https://boxd.it/5FEyA I don't think this is a full list, but I'm on my phone and I'm not in a search groove right now.

And the doc is based on or inspired by a book of the same name.

Actually found that one looking for more info on the horror anthology of the same name, hah. Not sure it'll make the queue itself this month, but it sounds interesting. Definitely on my radar.

I found The Girl With All the Gifts through that doc and glad I did. I like post-apocalyptic scifi and it had some fresh vibes to it.
