Production

In November 2019, it was announced Regina Hall had joined the cast of the film with Mariama Diallo directing from a screenplay she wrote, with Amazon Studios distributing.[3] In March 2020, Zoe Renee, Amber Gray, Molly Bernard and Nike Kadri joined the cast of the film.[4][5]

Principal photography began in March 2020.[6] Production on the film was shut down that same month due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 79% of 62 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "It can be didactic rather than truly suspenseful, but Master is an impressively well-crafted horror outing with a lot on its mind."[8]
