It’s Black Friday, which as you probably know, has managed to creep up and possess Thanksgiving as well. This leaves Ken dropping his reluctant kids off at their grandparents as he heads in for his shift at We Love Toys. But at least he...

One of the most highly anticipated indie horror films of the year is Casey Tebo’s Black Friday. Ever since Deadline announced that principal shooting had begun in November 2020, genre fans have been awaiting the arrival of this holiday chiller.
