About this movie

On Thanksgiving night, a group of disgruntled toy store employees begrudgingly arrive for work to open the store at midnight for the busiest shopping day of the year. Meanwhile, an alien parasite crashes to Earth in a meteor. This group of misfits led by store manager Jonathan (Bruce Campbell) and longtime employee Ken (Devon Sawa) soon find them themselves battling against hordes of holiday shoppers who have been turned into monstrous creatures hellbent on a murderous rampage on Black Friday.

Ratings and reviews

I think this is getting a lot of positive reviews just for Bruce Campbell. I really wanted to like this, but even for a b-movie, the storyline is scattered, awful and uninteresting. There seems to be no reasoning for a lot of the characters' actions.

Cross Slither and Army of Darkness with some nice practical effects and this is what you get. It's entertaining, has plenty of good laughs and some surprisingly well done character development. Definitely worth at least one watch.

A watchable B-Movie. A Thanksgiving horror comedy with a little bit Lovecraft...and a pinch of Romero thrown in. Not as scary as working retail in real life.
