Black Friday

This was weird af! One of the weirdest (big budget) films I've seen in a while.

I know it's a horror comedy, but something was just off. It didn't feel right. It was like they were in an alternate universe, because nobody acted human.

I feel like I just watched the actors doing a dry-run rehearsal, that wasn't supposed to be filmed.

A lot of the scenes felt odd, because the accompanying music was all over the place. Nothing fitted!

The 'zombie-ness' starts more or less straight away...and absolutely nobody seems bothered, confused, or worried about what's going on. Everyone just goes into attack mode...no questions asked. A customer growls...and a staff member shoots him multiple times with a nail gun...the whole thing was downright bizarre!

I could kind of tell it wasn't going to be that great, when I saw the trailer.

Great idea, but unfortunately poorly executed.

This movie has absolutely no comedy n it tried very hard to fall in the horror/comedy genre but failed miserably.

What was the point of taking Michael J White n not show his character kicking zombies.

The whole 'Blob' style scene towards the end is a big meh.

If you're after a fun little holiday thrill with some laughs thrown in, Black Friday might be the movie for you.

Sure there's no character development, and the plot gets a little ridiculous at times but you aren't watching a B movie for character development of academy award level writing.

Black Friday doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. For a small budget movie the skin work is great.

It was great to see Devon Sawas (Final Destination) all grown up and Bruce Campbell is funny as ever.

When trying to imagine Black, Friday, think Netflix comedy Superstore, if the store was attacked by aliens.

This wasn't amazing or anything but I had a good time. While I felt that there could have been more time developing the characters before the horror happened this was overall a solid survival horror. I thought all of the cast did a good job and it was great seeing Bruce Campbell in a role like this. The monster effects were fantastic and I enjoyed the climax. Not a masterpiece but an enjoyable way to spend an hour and 20 minutes.

Bruce Campbell is the only redeeming quality of Black Friday. Yes, the production is okay, the cast too, but the humor just does not work very well and the horror is at most okayish. On paper a mix of Blob, Superstore and a buddy horror comedy a la Shaun of the Dead may look good but the execution meanders something on the edge of average and below average. What I miss mostly is some unique spark. Also there never is really some suspense like for example in the story of The Mist. Exact rate: 3 + 1 for Mr. Campbell's solid performance.
