Black Friday (2021)

A Bruce Campbell cameo in the intro, an actual Bruce as one of the main characters - as a polar opposite of the real Bruce Campbell, Michael Jai White with a nailgun, a meteor storm of alien parasites that coincide with the yearly Black Friday event, which coincides with Thanksgiving, which actually does this year, which is historically an event in celebration of an 'alien' colonization, symbolic of man's greed, though it's actually Green Friday because Black would've been racist, and aliens are typically green... the detail level in this movie is on point.

It's timely too. It's witty. It means something. It's filmed well.

The timing and pace is just perfect. The props are incredibly gross. The slightly down-to-up angles are a little reminiscent of Evil Dead. The car flying by while they were headed to Walmart reminded me of Shaun of the Dead...

All of that was so great at the start, and I didn't realize the shop manager was Bruce Campbell either then. He is great, though definitely not as iconic here as in his older; most iconic roles.

It's a refreshingly relevant and reinventive zombie/alien/parasite horror movie with a little comedy, and the ending boss prop was really nicely designed, but overall... it kinda loses that 'feel' after a while. It becomes more just like all other horror movies out there.

A bit too many introspective story swaps in the staff room maybe too?

I expected a lot the way it all started, with the impeccable alien prop and introduction, but towards the end I'm a little disappointed.

Best not blow the whole budget only on the beginning, or your motivation and effort, or get expectations sky high right away if you can't keep 'em. Tactics like that will backfire flat. #fact

Overall though this really was a good movie.

 rated 4/5: fo shizzle
