Screen Media Films has dropped the official trailer for their upcoming filmBlack FridaystarringBruce Campbell(Evil Dead) andDevon Sawa(Chucky). It’s a delightfully campy dark comedy/horror movie about retail workers who have to fight off a horde of shoppers who have also been possessed by bloodthirsty alien parasites.Black Fridaywill be available in theaters on November 19 and On-Demand on November 23.
The trailer does an okay job of giving audiences an idea of what to expect from the movie. It starts out looking like a normal day at work, just like any other. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, an infected shopper peeks out from behind a large crate. Moments later, the entire store is overrun with aliens-who-are-totally-not-zombies-we-promise. Then the aliens start building… something. Something that the store clerks take upon themselves to dismantle before it results in disastrous consequences.
The film also starsIvana Baquero(The Shannara Chronicles),Ryan Lee,Stephen Peck, andMichael Jai White. Campbell plays store manager Jonathan, who would rather sit up in his booth make announcements over the PA system all day rather than do battle with bloodthirsty alien/human hybrids. Sawa, who plays second-in-command Ken, is on the ground leading his fellow co-workers against the alien horde.
