‘Black Friday’ Becomes A Nightmare For Bruce Campbell & Devon Sawa In New Movie

The yearly Black Friday sales are only a week away. It’s perfect timing for Deadline to announces that a new sci-fi horror film is aiming to turn the corporate holiday into a nightmare of epic proportions.

Spawn‘s Michael Jai White is also starring. Directed by Casey Tebo, Black Friday also features Ivana Baquren, Stephen Peck, and Ryan Lee. The script was penned by Andy Greskoviak. “Set on the busiest shopping night of the year, Black Friday, the story follows a group of disgruntled toy store employees who have to defend themselves from legions of holiday shoppers when a mysterious alien parasite sends them on a murderous rampage.” Production on Black Friday began yesterday in Boston.

Movie Review: ‘The Fanatic’ Will Leave You Asking WTF Did I Just Watch?

The Fanatic…where do I start? John Travolta stars as “Moose”, an autistic man who collects autographs and movie memorabilia. Obsessed with actor Hunter Dubar (Devon Sawa), “Moose” will stop at nothing to get close to his favorite actor. Travolta, rocking a terrible mullet, mimics what I assume he thinks is the way an autistic man would talk and act. Within the first few minutes I felt gross just for watching it. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not the fact that Travolta impersonates an autistic person, it’s the way that he did it. It just feels off and it is extremely one dimensional. For example, Leonardo Di Caprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape was brilliant. That’s how that’s done. Written and directed by Fred Durst (yes, that Fred Durst, the one from Limp Bizkit) the movie left me wondering what Durst’s original vision was and if this is close. Maybe he did it all for the nooky. Sorry, that was
