31 Days of Horror 2023 Day 17 Black Friday

 

TITLE-Black Friday

SOURCE-STARZ airing off my DVR


So most weeks I will scan the Starz,Showtime,Encore and TMC channels see if anything is airing I want to see. Some stuff gets DVRed and watched fast. Some like this film sat on there for over a year.

In the Northeast at We Love Toys a staff is getting ready for Black Friday. Bruce Campbell is the store manager. Michael Jai White is the maintainece man. And Devon Sawa plays a disgruntled night crew member. Right before they are locking up Thanksgiving night the store is invaded by infected people. Not zombies,these are more like some kind of Lovecraftian,Dream Mythons not Cthulu Mythos,shit.If you get bit you turn into one. 

And the rest of the film is our store crew fighting off these demons and trying to escape the store. With an ending that leads to either a sequel or nothing.

Made in 2021 this film is already a bit dated. Black Friday sales aren't nearly the thing they were just 4 years ago. Too many people got use to online shopping over the years and the pandemic made that increase.

Well acted. Decent gore,most of it practical. And a fairly well done script. This is another modern holiday horror I will add to my rotation. Not much Thanksgiving films,even fewer horror ones. So nice to have another to watch.


Black Friday gets a B+
