What happens

Dark Friday (Italian: Venerdì nero, lit. Black Friday) is a 1993 Italian thriller film directed by Aldo Lado. The film was shot in just eight weeks in 1991 but, due to the bankruptcy of the distribution company, it hit the big screen only two years later and, in 1994, in the United States.
