Syfy builds its Thursday around a 2024 reboot and a lot of repeats

Syfy’s primetime is The Crow (2024) at 8:30pm ET, 150 minutes with Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs, and the film is the whole evening. It’s a sound pick for a night two days before Halloween, but it is not the best thing on the channel today. I’d rather spend the time on Renfield overnight or The Final Girls in the morning, both comedy horror and both shorter.

The Crow at 8:30pm ET

Directed by Rupert Sanders, the film is listed as neo-noir, action and drama. It has aired on three days in the window, today included. Its main rival is Casper on Freeform, which starts at 8:35pm ET and appeals to a different household. If you want something darker than The Big Bang Theory on TBS or Eternally Yours on CBS, this is it.

Renfield and The Final Girls

Renfield (2023) opens the day at midnight ET. It stars Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage, and Awkwafina and Ben Schwartz are in the cast. It’s a comedy horror from director Chris McKay and the best-balanced film Syfy has on its schedule. The Final Girls (2015), with Nina Dobrev and Taissa Farmiga, airs at 2am ET and again at 7:30am ET, which means two chances if you’re awake at either hour. I’d record the morning one.

The repeat problem

Syfy programs three films twice today: The Final Girls, Pixels (9:30am and 3pm ET) and Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (noon and 5:30pm ET). That’s a lot of the day spent on film repeats, and the 2016 Ghostbusters is a 180-minute commitment each time. Pixels runs 150 minutes. These are fine to leave in the background, but they aren’t a reason to tune in.

Late and overnight

The Silent House (2012) follows at 11pm ET, a 120-minute horror directed by Gustavo Hernández Ibañez. The Twilight Zone fills the early hours from 4am ET, a daily fixture on the channel.
