The poster is pretty bland, but the trailer to Master<\/em> creates a subtle, creepy atmosphere.\u00a0 Deal me in.<\/p>\n In writer-director Mariama Diallo\u2019s debut feature, Master<\/em>, three women strive to find their place at a prestigious New England university whose frosty elitism may disguise something more sinister. Professor Gail Bishop (Regina Hall) has recently been promoted to \u201cMaster\u201d of a residence hall, the first time at storied Ancaster College that a Black woman has held the post. Determined to breathe new life into a centuries-old tradition, Gail soon finds herself wrapped up in the trials and tribulations of Jasmine Moore (Zoe Renee), an energetic and optimistic Black freshman. Jasmine\u2019s time at Ancaster hits a snag early on when she\u2019s assigned a dorm room that is rumored to be haunted. Things get worse when Jasmine clashes in the classroom with Liv Beckman (Amber Gray), a professor in the middle of her own racially charged tenure review. As Gail tries to maintain order and fulfill the duties of a Master, the cracks begin to show in Ancaster\u2019s once-immaculate facade. After a career spent fighting to make it into Ancaster\u2019s inner circle, Gail is confronted with the horrifying prospect of what lies beneath, her question ultimately becoming not whether the school is haunted, but by whom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
